May 30, 2017 at 22:20Nikita Lipsky and Dmitry Chuyko about AOT in Java on jug.msk.ru
The next meeting of the Moscow Java User Group was held on May 22, 2017, traditionally in the office of CROC . On it, Nikita Lipsky and Dmitry Chuyko talked about static (Ahead-of-Time) compilation in the Java programming language and its implementation in the products of Excelsior and Oracle .
Nikita Lipsky represents the Novosibirsk company Excelsior , which produces a unique product - a static compiler for the Java language , Excelsior JET . The application is quite in demand and feels great in the market, this fall will be celebrated for 20 years of its existence. Nikita is one of the initiators of the creation and an active participant in the development of the application.
The company’s blog is quite interesting: in addition to the announcements of new versions (with plugins for Maven and Gradle ), there are also descriptions of other useful things like the Git plugin for Far Manager and the plugin for IntelliJ IDEA (written by Excelsior programmers) Judging by the survey , you can soon expect something else.
Chronological reports of Nikita:
Audio with Nikita:
To get acquainted with Excelsior JET, the first reports once and twice are most useful (a joint presentation by Nikita with Pavel Pavlov on JUG.ru in 2013), then you can see stories about product technical support .

Dmitry Chuyko works at Oracle , which has also recently become interested in static compilation. He is an active speaker at both JUG.ru conferences and others.
Dmitry's reports:
Other slides on SlideShare .
For both speakers, the jug.msk.ru meeting was part of a touring presentation at conferences. Nikita's tour began with his participation in the recording of issue 134 of the podcast Debriefing (from the airport). Next up were Riga DevDays 2017 , GeeCON 2017 , jug.msk.ru and Oracle Code 2017 Moscow . Dmitry's tour also included GeeCON 2017 and jug.msk.ru , then JEEConf 2017 .
The meeting and the topic that the meeting was dedicated to ( AOT ) aroused great interest. At least five speakers from conferences held by JUG.ru attended the audience.. Those. in total (taking into account Dmitry and Nikita) there was a rare opportunity to see and chat with seven speakers.
Andrey Kogun together with Nikita (first shot) and additionally Dmitry (second shot) begins the meeting. Nikita was the first to speak. In my opinion, this is the best or one of his best reports. The report lasted two hours, which allowed him to tell more and answer more questions from the audience. The presentation greatly interested those present. The questions were good and sometimes unexpected for the speaker (for example, about comparing application launch times on SSDs). With the release of JDK 9 out of the box, static compilation is possible, i.e. conversions to the code of the target platform (the so-called native
) True, so far only under Linux . About JEP 295 , JEP 243 and the Graal compiler was Dmitry's story. The report was a logical continuation of his previous report, presented earlier at the JUG.ru meeting . As always, during the break and after the presentations, everyone had the opportunity to talk and ask questions on topics of concern to them. And, of course, drink tea with buns. Meeting Presentations: AOT for Java: Myths and Challenges Nikita and Compile ahead of time. Is it fine? Dmitry. Photos from the meeting: a group in VK , Google+ .
Unfortunately, for technical reasons, it was not possible to record a video (the first and, hopefully, the last time in the history of jug.msk.ru ). Video from previous meetings is available on YouTube .
