Proposal: JRuby Startup and AOT

[Charles Oliver Nutter]

Title: JRuby Startup and AOT

Abstract:

Rubyists work from a command line, which makes JRuby startup time a
critical concern. Traditionally, the JVM has not been optimized for
startup, but that's changing. This talk will explore all available options
for making a heavy runtime like JRuby start up quickly, from using class
data caching services like Hotspot's CDS and OpenJ9's Quickstart to
ahead-of-time compilation of JRuby using GraalVM's Native Image. We'll
compare approaches and trade-offs.

Notes:

We will only be exploring and discussing the open-source parts of GraalVM
(and any other tools we include).

This talk will be presented by Charles Oliver Nutter and Thomas Enebo
