I'm not aware of anyone using GraalVM for its language interoperability in production. However, it's used by GraalVM languages internally for supporting things like C extensions and FFIs.

So far, there's been a lot of interest in the performance improvements that the Graal compiler provides [1] and GraalVM Native Image [2], the toolchain that allows the compilation of Java apps and Truffle languages into binaries.

But, there's a lot more you can do with GraalVM [3].

For example, NextJorunal is using it for React SSR [1]. There are other companies using GraalVM's JS engine for similar functionality.

The Dutch Police is using GraalVM's interop between Scala and R for their data science [2].

I'm sure there are other projects which explore the benefits of having a polyglot runtime, would love to hear about those efforts.
