I was even more impressed when I googled Truffle and Graal as I had not heard of them until this.

They will be available for use in Java 9 without requiring any special JDK build.

Hidden behind an experimental command line flag and with caveats about performance since its intended for experimental JIT plugins, but yeah.

I think we will eventually end up with much of Java implemented in Java, and that will make for fantastic dynamic language support, but it's going to be a long road.

If you liked that, Terra (http://terralang.org/) is also worth checking out.

Truffle/Graal are both amazing technologies, I thought LLVM was amazing but Truffle blows my mind. You can write optimizing JIT compilers by actually just writing an interpreter in Java with some special tricks.

And Truffle can do some amazing things with cross-language that aren't related to debugging, see http://chrisseaton.com/rubytruffle/cext/
