[OT] Graal (next generation JIT compiler in Java) now has a product page

[Paulo Pinto via Digitalmars-d]

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.
