GraalVM is taking exciting leaps forward, powered by its community of users, contributors, and early adopters.

Join core members of the GraalVM team to discuss what’s next for the project. We’ll share updates on Crema, which enables dynamic class loading to Native Image and brings together the best of the AOT and JIT worlds. We’ll also cover the latest developments in GraalOS, GraalPy, GraalWasm, and other areas across the GraalVM ecosystem, as well as GraalVM-related updates in Micronaut, Quarkus, and Spring. Finally, we’ll take a sneak peek at the project roadmap and what the users can expect next.

Bring your questions, feedback, and ideas for the future. This BOF is your opportunity to connect with the community and help shape the next chapter of GraalVM!
