I regularly program in both Scala/Java and F#/C#. Interoperability in both is excellent. But I would not call it “trivial” in the Scala/Java case. Calling Scala code from Java is occasionally a pain (the converse is easy); however I don’t think I’ve ever had an issue calling F# code from C#. I think most of the friction wrt Scala lies in the fact that Scala reinvented the wheel in several places (eg collections; “operator overloading”) which are not obvious to use in Java.

Of course. But that isn’t the fault of the JVM or Oracle. That’s the language designers that made Scala. Look at Kotlins interop. It is rather seamless.

  It kind of is because .NET CLI includes more stuff to facilitate the interop (eg. operator overloading, reified generics, value types). It limits your choices when implementing languages on top but it then makes it usable from different languages.
