Hands on: Native Clojure with GraalVM

GraalVM challenges the status quo on the JVM. This newly-released compiler suite brings substantial speed improvements and support for polyglot applications. It also allows us to translate our JVM bytecode into small self-contained native binaries.

In this session we’ll explore Graal’s impact on Clojure. We’ll start with a presentation introducing GraalVM. Then we’ll move on to a hands-on workshop. We’ll use GraalVM to build native binaries with simple command-line tools. We’ll measure their start-up time, memory consumption, and execution speed in comparison to a traditional JVM-based approach. We’ll also experiment with web applications and package them as minimal Docker images.
