BTW: We (the GraalVM team) maintain a full-blown LLVM bitcode runtime that can be embedded in Spring or any other JVM application and compiled to native: https://github.com/oracle/graal/tree/master/sulong

Hi @edburns,

As Thomas mentioned, we continue our mission to run programs faster and more efficiently. So yes, the GraalVM Docker images are still maintained and now include images with the new GraalVM 25 release.

Fabio from the GraalVM team here.

I hope it isn't used in production yet because we still consider the use of native extensions experimental in GraalPy. However, we definitely see a need for this and will push it forward. If anyone wants to give this a try, please feel free to reach out to us.

In the meantime, you may want to take a look at this: https://blogs.oracle.com/ateam/post/want-to-use-llm-python-f...

Thanks for the question, nurettin.

Although GraalPy can create standalone applications [1], you don't have to turn your hello world script into a self-contained binary. You can, of course, create a JAR that depends on GraalPy, or a fat JAR that contains it, and deploy it just like any other Java application.

We are still updating our docs to mention more details on this and publish some guides, apologies for the delay.

For anyone interested, here's the PyPI repository with additional binary wheels for GraalPy: https://www.graalvm.org/python/wheels/

We also want to make it easy for Python package maintainers to test and build wheels for GraalPy. It's already available via setup-python, and we are adding GraalPy support to cibuildwheel. If you need any help, please reach out to us!

Correct:

> ... the JVM can intercept the resulting SIGSEGV ("Signal: Segmentation Fault"), look at the return address for that signal, and figure out where that access was made in the generated code. Once it figures that bit out, it can then know where to dispatch the control to handle this case — in most cases, throwing NullPointerException or branching somewhere.
