Cats-Actors 2.1.0 Goes Cross-Platform

Imagine writing your actor logic once (typed messages, functional state, the ! operator, supervision and all) and then deciding on a whim whether it runs as a JVM service, a self-contained native binary, or a live interactive app in your browser. No rewrites, no ports, no platform-specific glue. Just one codebase. Cats-Actors can do that now, and in this post we are going to have some fun with it. We will throw a token around a ring of actors on both JVM and Scala Native, and then (because why not) we will drop eight monkey actors into a banana-throwing arena right here inside this page. Real actors. Real messages. Running in your browser.

Let's go! 🚀🚀🎉

«We really cannot stress enough how impressed we are with Scala Center and Virtus' work on this front. Scala Native 0.5 is quite the triumph, and Cats Effect 3.7 is the proof. Going forward, you should essentially expect rough parity between scheduling functionality on JVM and LLVM, with JavaScript now being the unusual one (due to its single-threaded nature).»

(2/5) As scalameta/scalafmt https://github.com/scalameta/scalafmt releases include #ScalaNative -built native images for all platforms as of 3.9.1, #ScalaCLI v1.7.0 and onwards will rely on those, rather than the old, Graal-built images from virtuslab/scalafmt-native-image https://github.com/virtuslab/scalafmt-native-image

Exciting news, #ScalaCLI 1.4.0 is out! 🔥
Among other things, it updates #ScalaToolkit to default to 0.4.0, which now makes it possible to use it with #ScalaNative 0.5.x.
Scala Native has also been bumped to 0.5.4, by the way. (1/3)

Scala Native is a great development. When comparing it with GraalVM's native-image, the latter wins if you just want better RAM use and faster startup, mostly due to connectivity. The JVM's connectivity is top-notch. E.g., JDBC.

Wojciech Mazur talked about implementing multithreading in Scala Native, with some of the problems encountered for memory management.

Scala Native is growing up 😍
