...Calling C code has never been easier. With the help of extern objects you can seamlessly call native code without any runtime overhead. Scala Native is compiled ahead of time via LLVM. This means that there is no sluggish warm-up phase that’s common for just-in-time compilers. Your code is immediately fast and ready for action. Scala Native requires Clang, which is part of the LLVM toolchain. The recommended LLVM version is the most recent available for your system provided that it works with Scala Native. Scala Native uses the Immix garbage collector by default. ...

Vale is a systems programming language and compiler that strives to combine performance, safety, and ease in a way that avoids many of the complexities of traditional memory management techniques. It is ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled, targeting LLVM as a backend, and is statically typed. The language introduces a concept called generational references to provide memory safety without relying on a garbage collector, and aims for “safe without a borrow checker” (i.e. reducing the burden on the programmer). Vale also pursues what they call Fearless FFI to make foreign function interface (e.g. interoperating with C libraries) safer and less error-prone. ...
