Bytecode

Tools for bytecode manipulation and analysis.

• asmtools - Used to develop tools for the production of Java .class files.
• Byte Buddy - Code generation library creating Java classes at runtime without the help of a compiler.
• Jitescript - Bytecode generation library similar to BiteScript.

Garbage collectors

Garbage collectors for the JVM.

• Azul Pauseless Garbage Collection - Providing continuous, pauseless operation for Java applications.
• Balanced GC - GC policy available in the Java Virtual Machine for IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.
• Epsilon GC - Completely passive GC implementation with bounded allocation limit, and lowest runtime performance overhead possible.
• G1 - The Garbage-First Garbage Collector.
• Shenandoah - Ultra-Low-Pause-Time Garbage Collector.
• The Garbage Collection Handbook - Book that addresses new challenges to garbage collection made by recent advances in hardware and software.
• ZGC - Garbage collector optimized for low latency and very large heaps.

Load tools

Tools that generate load and measure the system accurately without coordinated omission

• Gatling - Asynchronous non-blocking scenario driven load testing tool for testing HTTP servers.
• wrk2 - A constant throughput, correct latency recording variant of wrk.

Languages

Languages running on the JVM. * Ceylon - Object-oriented, strong and static programming language with an emphasis on immutability, created by Red Hat. * Clojure - Dialect of Lisp created by Rich Hickey. Dynamically typed with emphasis on functional programming. * Erjang - A JVM-based Erlang VM. * Eta - Pure, lazy, strongly typed functional programming language on the JVM. * Frege - Pure functional programming language in the spirit of Haskell. * gojava - Java bindings for Go packages. * Golo - A simple dynamic language that makes extensive usage of invokedynamic. * Groovy - Optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities. * Java - General-purpose, concurrent, strongly typed, class-based object-oriented language. * JRuby - Implementation of the Ruby language on the JVM. * JPHP - PHP on the Java VM. * Jython - Python for the Java Platform. * Kawa - Extension of the Scheme language, which is in the Lisp family of programming languages. * Kotlin - Statically typed programming language for the JVM, Android and the browser. * LuaJ - Java-centric implementation of lua vm built to leverage standard Java features. * Nashorn - Lightweight high-performance JavaScript runtime in Java with a native JVM. * OCaml-Java - Supports OCaml language v4. Generates plain Java bytecode and have seamless integration with Java. * Rembulan - Rembulan is an implementation of Lua 5.3 for the JVM, written in pure Java with minimal dependencies. * Renjin - JVM-based interpreter for the R language for the statistical analysis * Scala - Strong and static programming language that combine object-oriented and functional programming ideas.
