Juni Meetup: Spring Boot + One VM to rule them all (JSUG #71)

Thema 1: How far do you get with Spring Boot in one hour? - Christian Köberl

Spring Boot promises to create production-ready applications easy and quickly. In this live-hacking session we will create a simple web application using Spring Boot with REST interface, persistence and security.

Thema 2: One VM to rule them all - Matthias Grimmer

Running a multitude of programming languages is a common requirement for large scale applications. This talk presents a virtual machine architecture that allows to handle different programming languages and their interoperability while not sacrificing performance. It bases on partial evaluation of AST interpreters to automatically derive compiled code. A prototype of this architecture has been developed as part of the Graal OpenJDK project (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/) as well as the TruffleRuby, ZipPy, and FastR open source projects. The talk will be about the general principles behind our VM, special aspects of the Ruby, Python, and R implementations, and our vision for making language interoperability work efficiently.
