2023 will be when browsers will support GC-based languages in production. Both GC and Exception Handling are already available to various degrees. Being an early adopter could boost Scala's adoption by being one of the first but also the best language in the browser!

    GraalVM compiles Java applications into native executables that start instantly, scale fast, and use fewer compute resources 🚀

  • GraalVM's Native Image is pretty wonderful, and I'm sure it will end up supporting WASM; just like in the case of Scala Native, this will take some wind away from any other WASM effort; and speaking of optimizations, GraalVM has more resources to invest in an AOT compiler that can do optimizations ahead of time. And because of the “serverless” trend, the community has invested significant resources into native-image resources already. The existence of developments like Quarkus or Spring Boot 3 can only mean that build tools and libraries ready for Native Image will only get better.
