Oracle is making GraalVM, a high-performance Java virtual machine and JDK with an optimized compiler, available to use and redistribute for free.
I know but Graal has always been kind of a licensing nightmare that feels designed to get you audited by Oracle. Most software organizations are trying to avoid paying ridiculous fees to Oracle.
These releases will be available under the GraalVM Free Terms and Conditions (GFTC) license, permitting free use even for production deployments. Redistribution is permitted if not for a fee. For long-term support (LTS) releases such as GraalVM for JDK 17, Oracle will provide free GFTC releases until one year after the subsequent LTS release.
It’s just as shocking to me but after doing .NET Core dev (on my Mac) I can’t imagine going back to Java. .NET feels actually more modern (almost sane Scala-like)
