> Scala is limited mostly to JVM... No, it's not. You can call native (C) functions from the JVM.

  You still need a JVM, which what the GP is trying to point out (I think...) That said; nowadays you have the Native and JS runtimes as possible targets as well. Scala.js works surprisingly good with very few caveats.

  Of course you can call C functions, but it is neither ergonomic nor performant. And good luck exchanging more complex data structures. Java can't use C structures directly, Rust can.
