  I have looked at GraalVM in the past and could never quite tell where it fit into things. It seems very technically impressive.

  Reading this, I'm still not entirely sure. I wouldn't mind being able to to AOT compilation on Python or JavaScript.

  Two things I would rather not have to deal with is Oracle and Java, I think I'm still leaning towards GraalVM not being for me.

  IIRC, GCC used to have an AOT compiler for Java but I've never heard of anyone using that. Is Graal like another attempt to native Java binaries?
