* <h1>Truffle Tutorial: Background</h1>
* <div id="contents">
*
* Truffle is an Open Source library for building programming language implementations as interpreters
* for self-modifying Abstract Syntax Trees.
* Together with the Open Source <a href="https://github.com/graalvm/graal-core/">Graal compiler</a>, Truffle
* represents a significant step forward in programming language implementation technology in the
* current era of dynamic languages.
* <p>
* A growing body of shared implementation code and services
* reduces language implementation effort significantly, but leads to extremely competitive runtime
* performance that matches or exceeds the competition. The value of the platform is further
* increased by support for low-overhead language interoperation, as well as a general instrumentation
* framework that supports multi-language debugging and other external developer tools.
* <p>
* Open Source Truffle implementations of both R and Ruby demonstrate excellent performance, and
* Sulong supports Truffle implementations of all LLVM-based languages.
* <p>
* Truffle is part of the Graal Project, developed and maintained by
* <a href="http://labs.oracle.com/">Oracle Labs</a>
* and the
* <a href="http://www.jku.at/isse/content">Institute for System Software</a> of the
* Johannes Kepler University Linz.
