About this Talk
In this talk, we'll learn how Scala Native uses POSIX and ANSI C API's
to build concise, expressive programs that run unusually close to bare metal.
By examining real-world programs, we'll learn just how accessible and expressive
low-level programming can be with a modern language like Scala.
