The Last Train from Metropolis: Whatever Happened to GraalVM - JVM Weekly vol. 185

Christian Humer piece on script sandboxing caught my eye, and as usual - once I started looking around at how much had changed around GraalVM in the meantime, a whole edition came out of it. There are several stories here, seemingly independent of each other, but when you lay them side by side, they form one fairly coherent picture. Not in the sense of “Oracle has a grand strategy” - it’s just that the last few months have gone in a very specific direction, and it’s worth writing down before it disappears into the thicket of release notes.

We start with the biggest one, because it’s been a bit quiet about it.
