Hi,

Just a quick question- does Akka compile with Scala Native and is there any known issue with that combination?

Thanks!

I have not heard about anyone trying, but probably not. We rely quite extensively on the memory model and the threading model of the JVM and neither is the same in Scala Native ([https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/issues/189](https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/issues/189), [https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/issues/101](https://github.com/scala-native/scala-native/issues/101)).

Thanks @johanandren!

This should be a priority for the community given the renewed thrust in Scala Native.
