It's very likely that Scala native will also be garbage collected. I don't think you will see improvements in gc pauses. JVM GCs have been tuned for years, so it will be an achievement to beat them. Aside: Shenendoah was supposed to be an improvement over existing GCs in pause times, but it's not yet ready if it's alive and it's for very big heaps and when you want low latency over performance/throughput.
