For the language geeks in the forum.
Graal, the meta-circular JIT compiler that goes back to the Maxime JVM
done at Sun Research Labs, now has a product page.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oracle-labs/program-languages/overview/index.html
This is part of the ongoing Oracle effort of reducing the amount of C++
code on the JVM.
Graal is already used by AMD on their GPGPU project with Oracle for Java
(Sumatra), JRuby optimization efforts on the JVM and SubstrateVM, a
static code compiler for Java (part of Graal toolchain).
When it will fully replace Hotspot, if ever, remains an open question.
