Blog about Leyden

[Sanne]

@gsmet (not to be merged yet) would this solution to have multiple authors be acceptable?

All: it's an early draft - general feedback welcome but don't merge it.

Pushed a final draft. IMO it's ready - but feedback welcome

Very nice article. I added some minor suggestions.

this content is good but I feel it takes a lot of text to get any real info and its written in start as normal jvm mode and graalvm/native image things done in Quarkus wasn't around - its not like until 50-75% through that a reader gets a feel of what leyden actually is and it gets more concrete.

If the goal is to make Quarkus community aware of what leyden will bring/help and how it relate to them and how to try it today - I don't think this article will help in its current form.

Here is some suggestions on improving it:

• Move some of the observations upfront (repeating them is fine) and before all the details and make it relatable to the last 5 years jvm/graalvm usage before going into the deeper details.
• Call out how it relates/compares to native-image much sooner as you can assume that's the question on Quarkus user mind - how does this relate to current jjvm and nativeimage approaches in quarkus.
• consider moving all the technical details on how to try it out and give feedback to a section after th conclusions or potentially split this blog in two (one for why/what/status, another for how to play/explore)

Thanks all! That was a lot of great feedback, took us a while to process it. @Delawen also added some nice new diagrams !

Pushed again to have a new preview to proofread.
