- vvillena 9y agoThe main problem of Scala is that it brings in the whole JVM. That's awesome for certain kinds of apps, but not so great for other things like small tools. I have high hopes on scala-native, though!
- nine_k 9y agoJava 9 / Jigsaw should make small self-contained executables possible. Startup time could be an issue, though.
- paulddraper 9y agoThe biggest difference is that Scala requires JVM (or JS). But if you are willing to accept runtime GC, a JIT runtime like JVM/Node might also not be out of the question. So Scala Native would be spot on, if it were ready for production use.
