• simplelanguage

  6 588 4.8 Java

  A simple example language built using the Truffle API.

  

Do you have any feedback on how we could improve the docs? If so, please let us know!

I believe the easiest way to start a new Truffle language implementation is to fork SimpleLanguage [1] and turn it into your language. Did you try to do that?

• truffleruby

  25 2,963 9.9 Ruby

  A high performance implementation of the Ruby programming language, built on GraalVM.

  

I opened a ticket some time ago about performance with Jekyll and liquid templates. At least in that case, yjit was way faster. I'm happy to retest though. Anything that would make my jekyll builds faster would help.

• graalvm-kotlin-native-image-sample

  1 1 10.0 Kotlin

  Example project showing how to build a native, static executable from a Kotlin project using GraalVM

I don't have anything public right now but the setup is pretty simple (although I use Gradle with the Kotlin DSL instead of Maven). It's your standard kotlin or java setup that can build a jar with dependencies included, and 1 extra build step to invoke `native-image` from the Graal SDK.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Quarkus

  127 13,030 10.0 Java

  Quarkus: Supersonic Subatomic Java.

  

If you love GraalVM, and very small app sizes, and get a nice dependency injection framework to break your code up into testable modules, be sure to check out https://quarkus.io . Be sure to scroll down to the memory and start time benchmarks :)

• pcp

  3 226 0.0 Clojure

  PCP: Clojure Processor -- A Clojure replacement for PHP (by alekcz)

Here, have some PCP![1] The first one's free!

> An easy to use, drop-in Clojure replacement for php scripts

> Allow multiple websites to be hosted on a single $5 VPS

> The utility is a simple binary, built with GraalVM, that allows you to work effectively with pcp.

Note that not all of PCP is AOT compiled. Just the command line utility. There's a daemon as well.

• holy-lambda

  12 335 2.2 Clojure

  The extraordinary simple, performant, and extensible custom AWS Lambda runtime for Clojure.

I'm running Clojure code compiled with GraalVM native for AWS Lambda. Cold start times are low and performance is decent enough, even with CE edition. The whole process is reasonably painless through the use of Holy Lambda https://github.com/FieryCod/holy-lambda

Not quite what you were asking for, but I wanted to chip in as another happy Clojure + GraalVM native user.
