• 5-10% speedup...
• Modularization and cleanup of dependencies like Removing Truffle API dependency from runtime-compiler project
• Never ending rewriting from Scala to Java like #9810
• Use small JDK by Reduce set of JDK modules required by Enso
  • Removal of Desktop and Java SE modules not needed in a headless application like Enso
• Talking to compiler to benchmark ArrowOperationPlus node and speed it up!

Tooling
