About Scala-Native
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.

Managed Memory Version of Rust?
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)

Virtual Threads: New Foundations for High-Scale Java Applications - Brian Goetz
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?
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.

Scala 3 Native support was published
The release is binary compatible with previous ones, but Scala 3 on its own does not fully source compatible - more info about that in https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/pull/2480 The full release is planned for the first weeks of January.

3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.
Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

Python dev considering Electron vs. Kivy for desktop app UI
If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/
