    I think so! I don't know if it needs compilers writer tho? If people are looking to contribute https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/issues or maybe open up a discussion thread there to see what could use more help.

    There's a plant of topics in which we might need help. To name a few, we might need some help in [porting the remaining JSR-166 types](https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/issues/3165) to Scala Native shipped with future experimental multithreading support, but also large parts of the Java standard library need some improvements or reimplementations. Last but not least, we need people dedicated to the optimization of our current toolchain to make it use fewer resources and allow for faster builds.

    Scala Native could have been this language, but at this stage I don't see it happening.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Scala is actually a quite small and simple language

    good stuff there is https://scala-native.org/ and http://www.scala-js.org/ then, I suppose?
  • Dropping Scala 2.11 support in Scala.js and Scala Native

    Please vote for dropping Scala 2.11 support in Scala.js (https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/4759) and Scala Native (https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/issues/2780)

    I presume only the JVM version of Scala can use Loom but scala-native (https://scala-native.org/) and scala-js (https://www.scala-js.org/) can't use Loom. Similarly with Kotlin, the JVM Kotlin gets Loom, but the native and Javascript backends do not.
  • The Typelevel stack and Scala Native

    Nope. Scala Native is (still) single threaded, just like you are in e.g. Python or Node.js.
  • What is Scala Native use case?
    4 projects | /r/scala | 23 Jan 2022
    Until recently, there was only 64-bit support. 32-bit support is coming, though, see this pr. This means that you will be able to target 32-bit microcontrollers soon. Anything lower than 32-bit might not be realistic.

When comparing diff and Scala Native you can also consider the following projects:

YahooFinanceScala - A non-blocking Yahoo Finance Scala client

PureConfig - A boilerplate-free library for loading configuration files

ScalaSTM - A library-based Software Transactional Memory (STM) for Scala, coupled with transactional sets and maps

Fansi - Scala/Scala.js library for manipulating Fancy Ansi colored strings

Scalan - Generic framework for development of domain-specific compilers in Scala

pprint - Pretty-printing value, types and type-signatures in Scala

REPLesent - A neat little tool to build presentations using the Scala REPL

Miniboxing - Miniboxing is a program transformation that improves the performance of Scala generics when used with primitive types. It can speed up generic collections by factors between 1.5x and 22x, while maintaining bytecode duplication to a minimum. You can easily add miniboxing to your sbt project:

scala-ssh - Remote shell access via SSH for your Scala applications

media4s - Scala command-line wrapper around ffmpeg, ffprobe, ImageMagick, and other tools relating to media.

Eclair - A scala implementation of the Lightning Network.
