GraalVM's alignment With OpenJDK Signifies A New Era For Java-"in the battle for the Cloud"

 Oracle will be contributing GraalVM Community Edition Java Code to OpenJDK. There's a lot behind this simple statement. But before that, let's first look at what GraalVM actually does.


The recent flurry of interest in GraalVM started with a tweet that sparked excitement inside the Java community.


Oracle is contributing GraalVM Community Edition Java code to OpenJDK to more closely align the development of the GraalVM technologies with that of Java


Two technologies at play here; the well established OpenJDK and the newcomer, GraalVM.


At a very high level, GraalVM is a runtime split into two aspects; compile bytecode into native self-contained executables aka native images and run programs on the JVM in languages other than Java.


Per the first aspect, Native image

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times. This leads to faster results for data scientists,  engineers,  biologists,  economists,  administrators,  and programmers. I remember the time when the saying was "Learn Perl so you don't have to learn the Shell and its hundreds of utilities". Fast forward some decades and the use of shell scripts still has not been eradicated. On the contrary, their use has increased due to the rise of containers, VM's, administering the cloud, and Linux itself. This also serves as a lesson to those who are quick to denounce technologies as 'dead'. There's a time where a new use case revitalizes an old technology. So what is meant by "Unix philosophy"?  full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/14990-the-pash-project-advancing-the-unix-philosophy-one-step-further.html    

Open Source Is Not Just About Software

  It's about infrastructure as well, something that although not attracting the limelight, is as important as the open source software it hosts. Today the stewards of the largest open source registries in the world have issued an open letter demanding urgent reform in how open source infrastructure is funded, maintained, and operated.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/18334-open-source-is-not-just-about-software.html

DeepSWE - Best Benchmark For Evaluating AI Coding Agents?

  DeepSWE is a high-fidelity benchmarking platform designed to evaluate the performance of frontier AI coding agents on complex long-horizon software engineering tasks. Unlike traditional benchmarks that reuse existing GitHub data, this system utilizes original, contamination-free tasks across five major programming languages to prevent models from relying on memorized solutions, creating a much clearer separation between frontier coding models than older public benchmarks like SWE-bench. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/19016-deepswe-best-benchmark-for-evaluating-ai-coding-agents.html
