interesting post, <https://www.scalawilliam.com/scala-native-libpcap/>

Something I don't understand: What's the advantage of using scala native to capture packets? Why not just use scala, and access the library? Does scala-native make using native libraries easier?

"A client needed a high performance online packet analyser for the "

I don't think that performance is necessarily better in scala-native. Isn't it that performance typically gets a bit worse?

Jni isn't free, there's also the jit warmup one may not want

Plus perhaps it is nicer to write it without needing jni

low memory footprint, faster compilation (not scala-native case: "Total time: 37 s" to compile..)  and startup time, enough to make the switch from JVM to native  for that kind of thing
