GraalVM is a high-performance, embeddable, polyglot virtual machine for running applications written in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R, JVM-based languages like Java, Scala, Kotlin, and LLVM-based languages such as C and C++.

Additionally, GraalVM allows efficient interoperability between programming languages and compiling Java applications ahead-of-time into native executables for faster startup time and lower memory overhead.

This distribution includes the following components:

  • JVM
  • utility for creating native images
  • JavaScript engine
  • LLVM engine
  • Ruby, R and Python language components are optionally available using GraalVM gu utility.

The most notable changes from the previous GraalVM release can be found on the website: http://www.graalvm.org/docs/release-notes/

The GraalVM CE image for MacOS currently depends on some libraries that are not installed by default on current MacOS versions. This might cause issues with UI-related functionality (Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib).
The necessary components can be added, e.g., by installing https://www.xquartz.org - we will remove this dependency in upcoming versions of GraalVM CE for MacOS
