I remember longer stop-the-world GC pauses in our simple GC implementation, and leakage issues related to JS interop. I didn't work on that back then, can check with the team for details.

Our GC implementation for linear memory wasn't very sophisticated, but we also wanted to avoid overhead in JS interop and reduce overall file size.

GraalVM targets Wasm GC.
We started with linear memory but GC performance was simply not good enough.

It’s live! "@graalvm.org meets #WebAssembly” from @devoxx.com: compile JVM apps to Wasm (Web Image) and run Wasm in Java or Kotlin at near‑native speed (GraalWasm). Lots of live demos included!

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 · 22d

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.

In Oracle JDK, the Graal JIT has only ever been an experimental feature. Most people using Graal JIT do so via a GraalVM distribution where it’s enabled by default, so nothing changes for them. 🙂

My favorite is probably the DAP and Chrome Inspector debugging support in #GraalWasm, based on DWARF. 🤓

Hi @joschi.xyz,
we have information available in the GraalVM Download Service (GDS), but it's unfortunately not publicly documented and the format is missing download links.

Example: gds.oracle.com/api/20220101...

I hope we can soon provide something closer to Disco and Java Release Metadata.
