What if your runtime was 75x faster out of the box? In this episode of AppDevANGLE, Paul Nashawaty, Principal Analyst at theCUBE Research, sits down with Sam, software developer and co-founder of Elide, to discuss a next-generation runtime designed for speed, security, and cross-language development. Elide is a drop-in replacement for , but with performance gains that go far beyond. Built on Oracle GraalVM, it claims to run JavaScript 75x faster, Ruby 24x faster, and Python 3x faster, while delivering compiler speeds up to 20x faster. For developers and enterprises, these improvements translate into optimized CI/CD pipelines, lower cloud infrastructure costs, and stronger security through memory-safe Java-based runtimes. Beyond raw performance, Elide brings polyglot development to the forefront, enabling teams to work seamlessly across Java, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin, and more, all while pulling packages from NPM, Maven, and PyPI in a single unified system. Compared to other alternatives like Deno or Bun, Elide promises easier integration, enterprise-grade stability, and a business impact that accelerates both development and release cycles. Currently in beta with a stable release expected within three months, Elide is already available on GitHub—positioned to redefine runtime innovation for developers, DevOps teams, CTOs, and engineering leaders navigating the demands of modern cloud-native applications.
