Scala Native v0.1 9 years ago

Interesting, I guess I understood that wrong. Looks like no "easy" interop, but it's there if you really need it and don't mind the extra work.

I've been playing with this and trying to convert a ~20 line helper script that I use at work (and would really like to benefit from no JVM warmup time), and I've already run into missing core library functions like parallel collections and regexes.

This thing will be really great when it's ready, but it's not even close yet.

Well, this is just targeting a different VM, LLVM instead of the JVM. You get easy interop with all LLVM languages with this, including C.

Absolutely, but having another layer blocking access to your data is definitely a good thing. It's a good idea to encrypt your files yourself before uploading them to a public cloud.

While interesting, this seems like a bad idea. You're uploading your backups, no matter how encrypted, to a place where they will be publicly available to download.
