<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I’m working on making a framework in a native language (Rust)
extensible in other languages (Java, Python). We currently use
JNI, which is low-level and error-prone. I consider if GraalVM
would make some things easier or make the integration more
efficient. Would anyone please help with these questions?</p>
<p>1. Is it a good use-case for GraalVM? It seems so from the docs,
as GraalVM aims to eliminate the costs associated with calling
code running on a VM from the native code and vice-versa.<br>
2. The reference documentation says C --> Java is not supported
yet, but coming soon. Does it mean that developers will be able to
use Java from C with <i>no</i> JNI (= pass arbitrary structs,
call any Java method from any native thread)? Is it going to be a
viable full-featured replacement for any JNI use-case?<br>
3. If I do such integration of a native language with Java the old
way — using JNI, native methods and libraries — but run on
GraalVM, will this application enjoy any inter-language
optimizations?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
