-H:Optimize=2: I didn't even know that existed

i didn't know either -- have you tried it out?

i wonder if the release notes were not comprehensive -- specifically, i didn't notice one of our issues being mentioned (https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/1876)

(nice to hear querying about snapshot builds at: https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/1995#issuecomment-567628840)

Also mentioned here: https://graalvm.slack.com/archives/CNBFR78F9/p1577066527013900

Nice that they do extra releases for serious bugs

yeah, that is appreciated

interesting to see one of the graalvm developer advocates say:

Windows support is currently experimental, so for Windows consider using the WLS and the linux build

Clj-kondo works now in Windows afaik, but I don't know how other kinds of apps like webservers etc. do in Windows. Also JDK11 seems more experimental than JDK8 right now.

yes, the jdk 11 stuff doesn't seem to work as well yet. it has the big changes of going from 8 to 9, plus extra bits from 10 and what got added in 11 i guess so may be it's not too surprising.
