GraalVM is great. I built several command line apps in Java and having the ability to compile them to native code makes them start fast create a good user experience.
Donald's post mentioned the long-gestating Project Leyden and its AOT compilation. But as far as I know those don't address questions such as: will the GraalVM Java Docker images at ghcr.io/graalvm/ still be maintained?

Hi @edburns,
As Thomas mentioned, we continue our mission to run programs faster and more efficiently. So yes, the GraalVM Docker images are still maintained and now include images with the new GraalVM 25 release.
We met a decade ago when you were first advocating for GraalVM at ConFESS 2015 in Vienna https://blog.ehrnhoefer.com/2015-04-14-confess2015-day1/ . What a decade it has been! Out of the JDK, in the JDK, and now out agin.
