This is also why I think it was great that Maxime eventually graduated into GraalVM.

Another tool for compiler research using modern approaches with type safe languages.

Isn't GraalVM completely tied to LLVM bitcode, and therefore has all the same problems that LLVM has ?

Isn’t that just the (née sulong) llvm frontend? IIUC GraalVM is deeply dependent on OpenJDK internals.

Not at all. There’s an LLVM bitcode interpreter built on top of GraalVM, but the VM itself is heavily reliant on the internals of OpenJDK.

Not even remotely.
