InfoQ: Getting to Know Graal, the New Java JIT Compiler

https://www.infoq.com/articles/Graal-Java-JIT-Compiler
Oracle recently announced the first release of GraalVM, a research project that may in time lead to a replacement for HotSpot in its entirety.
For Java developers, Graal can be thought of as several separate but connected projects - it is a new JIT compiler for HotSpot, and also a new polyglot virtual machine. We will refer to the JIT compiler as Graal and the new VM as GraalVM.
The overall aim of the Graal effort is a rethinking of how compilation works for Java (and in the case of GraalVM for other languages as well).
