Overall Satisfaction with GraalVM
GraalVM is being used by my organization to create a language-agnostic mod loader based on the Fabric API for Minecraft. It addresses a lot of problems with normal Java Native Interface Interop, and also makes it really easy to integrate numerous languages into the system.
The problem with normal JNIs is how hard it is to implement Mixins and other features, with GraalVM this is very easy and performant. GraalVM's performance is also outstanding, making it faster to launch dev environments and other factors.

- Language interop
GraalVM allows for better language interop between languages compared to JNI, and also supports other languages for scripting like Python, Ruby and others. This means seemless modding capability compared to the normal JDK and other things.
