Building CLI utilities with Scala Native

Workshop

After being out of favor for a while, natively compiled applications are making a comeback. Scala Native offers a concise way of writing low-level system code using the Scala type system. It compiles regular Scala code to machine code, reducing application startup to mere milliseconds. In our workshop, we’ll make the journey from hello world, to low-level system programming with native primitives, and ahead of time compiled regular Scala; all in the Scala environment you’re familiar with.
