Native Image is an *amazing* technology! Having a 150mb+ JAR full of weird compiler stuff (from jrtfs to Swing!) in kotlinc quite easily built with Native Image, and immediately yielding this kind of improvement is outstanding. Looking forward to what's next 👀

The @kotlinlang.org team at @jetbrains.com is working on a @graalvm.org-compiled kotlinc. Early experiments look very promising: > So far, a native image with PGO offers a properly "warmed-up" kotlinc and with up to 20% more peak throughput. Ticket: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-823...

Excited to talk about @graalvm.org and #WebAssembly tomorrow at @devoxx.com! 🚀 Join me to explore Web Image and GraalWasm — and see them in action with plenty of live demos.

GraalVM@graalvm.org · 11mo ago

Fabio @fniephaus.com will introduce Web Image, a new preview feature of GraalVM that enables compiling applications into efficient Wasm modules, including use cases and live demos. We'll also look at GraalWasm, a new embeddable Wasm runtime. m.devoxx.com/events/dvbe2...
