Hands-on Scala-Native
summary
Scala Native compiles Scala to native binaries via ScalaC → LLVM and claims fast startup, C interoperability and garbage collection; setup is an sbt plugin. The demo ports a C bandwidth monitor: uses getifaddrs and gettimeofday, maps C structs to Scala with cstruct/implicit accessors, renders with enurse, and accumulates deltas in a bounded queue to draw histograms; it runs and shows spikes up to 1 MB/s observed. Notes include a 22-field limit on struct mappings, upcoming GC and Windows work, and an automatic binding goal.
