For some reason, I wouldn’t touch “free” from Oracle with a barge pole…

Imagine relying on GraalVM for all your production workloads and then one day Oracle announces a renewed pricing structure for it. Of course that could never possibly happen /s

… or they sue you for using their API … or doing something similarly impertinent.

It’s about GraalVM’s enterprise edition. The free version was… free since forever.

I know but Graal has always been kind of a licensing nightmare that feels designed to get you audited by Oracle. Most software organizations are trying to avoid paying ridiculous fees to Oracle.

It’s just as shocking to me but after doing .NET Core dev (on my Mac) I can’t imagine going back to Java. .NET feels actually more modern (almost sane Scala-like)
