Advances in open runtime technologies for the cloud.

Modern language runtimes are complex, dynamic environments that involve a myriad of components that must work cooperatively to achieve the functional and performance requirements of a given language. Typical core runtime technologies include dynamic just-in-time compilers for performance, garbage collection for heap management, platform abstraction for ease of portability to different hardware and operating system environments, developer tooling for diagnosis and tuning of the various components, and interoperability between different language environments.
