I am aware of that, but it's not a fair comparison.

  Also, most Scala deployments are "statically linked", i.e. all JAR/class files are together.

    Yes, but you need to bundle a JRE and the Scala library (~5 MB).

      I don't know a whole lot about any of this, but isn't Swift's library bundled with iOS apps? Or is that for a different purpose, such as iOS being able to run apps that target different versions of Swift?

        Yes, it's because Swift's ABI isn't stable yet.

      Starting with Java 9 you will be able to trim down the JRE just for your application, with the new introduced linker.
