Scala Native can interact with C code and libraries, greatly expanding the library ecosystem beyond pure Scala offerings. Let's see the low level and high level tools that make it possible, talk through challenges of encoding various C concepts in Scala, and demonstrate what popular C libraries look like when used alongside idiomatic Scala code.
