This year, the SPLASH program includes at least 9 talks about research using or extending the Truffle Language Framework and Graal Just-in-Time Compiler. This includes for instance optimizations for high-level metaprogramming, optimizations of low-level machine code, a paper on cross-language benchmarking, as well as support for parallel programming in JavaScript.

If you are interested in Truffle and Graal, please come and talk to us, for instance after our presentations or at the poster receptions.
