OpenJDK & Graal is discussed. The document introduces Graal, an experimental Java-based just-in-time (JIT) compiler included with OpenJDK in Java 10. Graal has the potential to improve application performance by optimizing code for specific microprocessor architectures. GraalVM is also introduced as a high-performance polyglot virtual machine that supports multiple languages using a common Graal compiler and substrate virtual machine. The document explores the future of the Java ecosystem through innovations like Graal and GraalVM.
