"Graal is designed from the start as a multi-language compiler, but its set of optimisation techniques is especially well suited to compiling programs with high levels of abstraction and dynamism. It runs Java as fast as the existing JVM compilers do, but when applied to Scala programs it runs them about 20% faster. Ruby programs get 400% faster than the best alternative runtime (i.e. not MRI)."
Pretty amazing claims being made here, but I do like the idea of it. Build up your language grammar, then get a compiler, debugger and runtime for basically free. Definitely will have to play around with this soon.
