GraalVM é uma implementação que estende a JVM para suportar várias linguagens, incluindo JavaScript, Python e Ruby. Mais informações em GraalVM.

Eclipse OpenJ9 é outra implementação da JVM que pode ser usada independentemente da implementação padrão da Oracle. Veja em Eclipse OpenJ9.

Very true.

Ten years ago at IBM, I was the tech lead of the OpenJ9 JIT compiler's optimizer team. The optimizer comprised 70% of the JIT's code, and since performance is the only purpose for a JIT, nearly every work item by anyone on the JIT involved tinkering with the optimizer.

A great strategic move by IBM a few years ago to now perfectly position openj9 on Bluesky!

IBM also had their own implementation of Java, J9 which is now Eclipse OpenJ9. Then you have a bunch of smaller JVMs, most defunct, some still active.

But as I said, I use OpenJ9/ IBM Semeru which doesn't have hotspot. The author explicitly states "UseCompactObjectHeaders".

I had -XX:+UseCompressedOops available for a long time. Plus other optimisations.

Lavalink over OpenJ9 and my game for the Global Game Jam 2024 has been deprecated and they will not receive new updates or fixes.
July 26, 2024 at 1:33 AM
So we need openj9 here (distribution Semeru). Mt. Semeru is so high that you can "run in the clouds"! Pun intended by IBM, I guess.
November 21, 2024 at 6:42 PM
Interesting. And an extremely great overview! I skipped the part about hotspot as I use OpenJ9 on Semeru, and optimizations are backported to older releases.

Can't wait for structured concurrency! Hopefully it will be included into the next LTS!

Hack of the day:

-Xmx`cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes`

This forces older Java versions (pre 8u131) and OpenJ9 to adhere to @Docker memory settings in cgroup.

The IBM Champions Day just kicked off and the first topic is Java! Semeru Runtimes, openJ9 and Liberty InstantOn. A strong message to the Java Community! 🤗 I love this priority of Java here together with JCON USA @ IBM TechXchange 2025

After receiving loads of feedback on my @Java and @Docker blogpost, I've added more tests, including nightly Java 10 and nightly @openj9 builds that support 'UseContainerSupport':

Don't know why yet, but turns out that running a Spring Boot app using virtual threads on OpenJ9 24 or 25 in a Linux container results in continuous high CPU load, which did NOT occur on their 21 JVM. Starting investigation, but all clue suggestions are welcome!
December 9, 2025 at 2:06 PM
Why not Java 26? Sure, I could. But look at the changes:

JEPs 524, 525, 526, 529, 530 are only preview/incubator.
JEPs 516, 522 is hotspot-only (I use OpenJ9 🚀).
JEP 517 is http/3. No endpoints. 🤷🏻‍♂️
JEP 504 is just an API removal.
JEP 500 just issues new warnings.

So, why bother..?
