Yes, but I was under the impression that graal-level inter-op was limited to packages the graal toolchain could compile.

Thus, while swift and graal both depend on llvm, they use different variants and there's no real way to make inter-op between swift and graal (even using the llvm it which graal is said to be able to consume).

e.g., I believe this announcement represents the work to compile a python (3.11) and some proof-of-concept python packages using graal toolchain, to spur other packages to support the same.

So I'd really love to be wrong, but I believe building under the graal llvm is the common factor.

    I don’t really see how swift comes into the picture, besides SuLong being a thing (running LLVM bitcode). Native binary was meant as a compile target in the previous comment, I believe, not as an input. Graal can do both, but as a target it has no dependency on LLVM.

    So yeah, graalvm should be able to produce a native binary for python code (though depending on the specifics it might actually be more like a native binary interpreter running python scripts, it can’t optimize in every circumstance but I’m hazy on the details).
