Scala goes Native

" summary

Announces an ahead-of-time LLVM compiler and lightweight managed runtime that produce single native binaries (no JVM) with C interop via simple external-object signatures. Current build runs on x86_64 Linux, macOS and FreeBSD and even iOS ports; project has accepted ~36 pull requests from ~12 contributors. Runtime currently uses Boehm GC (about 2–3× slower than HotSpot GC) but supports value struct types and aims for fast startup and monthly 0.1 previews.
