Scala Native is a plugin for the Scala programming language.
What Is Scala Native?
It provides the low-level power of C or Rust, in Scala.
Ordinary Scala compiles to JVM bytecode and runs on a Java Virtual Machine.
Scala Native outputs executable machine code - it starts fast and runs lean.
The fundamentals of Systems Programming:
- Primitive Data Types
- Arrays
- Strings
- Structs
- Pointers
Networking
- The low-level UNIX Sockets API
- Simple protocol parsing
- A DIY HTTP Client
- A lightweight HTTP Server
In modern computing applications, networks are everywhere.
In this book, you'll learn networking from the ground up:
Concurrency
- Parallel HTTP Client
- Scalable HTTP Server
- A Key-value Database
- Microservice Design Patterns
Concurrency is the #1 difference between traditional systems programming, and the way it's done in the 21st century.
I'll introduce event-based concurrency with the C library LibUV, then deep dives on:
