Go uses quite a bit less memory than Java. http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/go.html
Due to value types support, which are part of Java 10's roadmap.
This will be huge for getting Scala running on AWS Lambda. The cold-start times for JVM apps is just ridiculous and makes Lambda/API gateway essentially unusable for anything written on the JVM.
I don't understand. How does the ability to generate native code help getting something running on AWS Lambda? By using asm.js?

Or they tend to just Go. Interestingly, I've read a lot of Go users come from the Ruby and Python communities.
I've read a lot of Go users come from the Ruby and Python communities Don't believe what you read, especially when it originates from a biased source. When i want productivity, i use python. When i want speed, i use c. When i want both, i use both.

It's the Never Java crowd who I just don't get. Java is almost always the most practical answer. And if you don't like Java, then use C#.

If you hate yourself sure, Java is one of the worst working environments for a tech stack I've ever worked in. I've worked in a ton of others.
I would love for there to be a similarly thorough project with Clojure. It really bothers me there's no good native compiler. Apart from anything else, it means that Clojure lives and dies by the languages it compiles to, and while Java is used everywhere still, it probably isn't the thing the kids are learning these days. Besides, without going into any further rational arguments for why using the JVM (or another VM…

I maintain a project called Ferret [1], which compiles a subset of Clojure to C++11. No VM no dependencies you get a single cpp file that can be compiled to native code. Supports any platform with a C++11 compiler. (atmega, arm, x86 etc.) [1] http://ferret-lang.org/
so dream comes true! P.S. I think this is related to rust, in a sense before Rust there was no serious competitor to C/C++, but after seeing what Rust doing to C/C++ I think there will be more native language to compete with in low level area.
Between the "scripty" GC agility of Golang and all the impressive low level benefits that Rust is enjoying from folding memory management into the type system, I suspect that Scala native will be a difficult sell. On the other hand, the new targets (js and native) might make Scala more interesting to Java pragmatists who don't care much about going functional but would not mind writing Java in a more streamlined synt…
