GeeCON 2024: Artur Skowronski - Unveiling the Mysteries of GraalVM's Least Understood Component

Think uncovering truffles is tough? effort knowing Truffle in GraalVM! In this lighthearted talk, I'm going to simplify the complex and make sense of what Truffle truly does in the GraalVM ecosystem. Continuing the culinary analogy, imagine Truffle as the secret sauce that makes everything in GraalVM tastier – supporting multiple languages and boosting performance, just like how real truffles elevate a dish. We'll part through the method jargon and explain what 'language implementation framework' truly means. You'll learn how Truffle works, why it's important, and we'll even effort to compose any trivial Truffle Language – in a fashion of 'words are cheap, show me the code'.
