Description

OpenJDK's Project Leyden aims to improve the startup and warmup time of Java applications, for now by shifting computation from those phases to the applications' build time. Java 24 ships with ahead-of-time class loading and linking, which is the first step in that direction. In this episode, we learn about that as well as about Leyden's approach to reach its goals and some features that are available in its early access build plus some that aren't.

Nicolai Parlog discusses with Dan Heidinga, who is JVM Runtime Architect at Oracle and, among other things, member of projects Leyden and Valhalla.
