Java + Python on GraalVM

We're happy to announce the upcoming event of the JUG Berlin-Brandenburg! Join us on May 10th at 18:30 at Deloitte for an evening of learning and networking.

"Java + Python on GraalVM" by Tim Felgentreff

GraalVM is a distribution of HotSpot/OpenJDK that, aside from the well know native image tool, adds the possibility to seamlessly embed Python into JVM applications with GraalPy. This opens the world of dynamic scripting and data science libraries to your Java/Scala/Kotlin and other JVM projects! In this talk I will introduce GraalPy and demonstrate its usage in Java applications by extending a Micronaut chat application example with Python scripting capabilities.

Tim Felgentreff is the language development lead for GraalPy, the Python implementation on the GraalVM.
He has been involved with the PyPy/RPython project and various other dynamic language VMs since 2007. Tim also keeps in touch with the Software Architecture Group in the Hasso Plattner Institute at the University of Potsdam where he received his doctoral degree in 2017.
