GraalVM Components

GraalVM functionality is enabled by several layers: it uses JVM as a platform, uses Java level compiler interface, JVMCI to integrate with it, uses the Truffle framework to run languages it has interpreters for, and through the LLVM bitcode interpreter, Sulong, it can run native code.
