Access the power of bare-metal systems programming with Scala
Native, an ahead-of-time Scala compiler. Without the baggage of
legacy frameworks and virtual machines, Scala Native lets you
re-imagine how your programs interact with your operating system.
Compile Scala code down to native machine instructions; seamlessly
invoke operating system APIs for low-level networking and IO;
control pointers, arrays, and other memory management techniques
for extreme performance; and enjoy instant start-up times. Skip the
JVM and improve your code performance by getting close to the
metal. Developers generally build systems on top of the work of
those who came before, accumulating layer upon layer of
abstraction. Scala Native provides a rare opportunity to remove
layers. Without the JVM, Scala Native uses POSIX and ANSI C APIs to
build concise, expressive programs that run unusually close to bare
metal. Scala Native compiles Scala code down to native machine
instructions instead of JVM bytecode. It starts up fast, without
the sluggish warm-up phase that's common for just-in-time
compilers. Scala Native programs can seamlessly invoke operating
system APIs for low-level networking and IO. And Scala Native lets
you control pointers, arrays, and other memory layout types for
extreme performance. Write practical, bare-metal code with Scala
Native, step by step. Understand the foundations of systems
programming, including pointers, arrays, strings, and memory
management. Use the UNIX socket API to write network client and
server programs without the sort of frameworks higher-level
languages rely on. Put all the pieces together to design and
implement a modern, asynchronous microservice-style HTTP framework
from scratch. Take advantage of Scala Native's clean, modern syntax
to write lean, high-performance code without the JVM. What You
Need: A modern Windows, Mac OS, or Linux system capable of running
Docker. All code examples in the book are designed to run on a
portable Docker-based build environment that runs anywhere. If you
don't have Docker yet, see the Appendix for instructions on how to
get it.
