You may want to check what GraalVM has to offer here:
modern optimizations hence better performance
stronger security
native compilation
polyglot: runs Java, Kotlin, Scala, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, R, Ruby, C, C++, Fortran... code all together in the very same memory space: no performance overhead, program in TypeScript, reuse a python library, call a Java function that uses C++ libraries...
embed the graalvm in other software (Oracle database...)
an open source and free community edition along an enterprise edition for even more optimizations... (this last one is free on Oracle Cloud btw)
