How to experiment with Truffle?

[Stefan Marr]

Hi:

I was trying to look a bit into Truffle and was wondering whether there is some documentation. Is there perhaps an overview or a getting started guide somewhere?

While I found the com.oracle.truffle.* packages in the Graal repository, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else. Specifically, I was looking for the first steps of setting it up and perhaps a working example. I found the wiki page for Graal itself [1], but didn't see anything about Truffle specifically.

Furthermore, what are the current requirements for using Truffle? Do I need a Graal VM or can it be used independently of Graal, i.e., on a vanilla JDK?

Thanks
Stefan
