Re: [scala] F# code

You could use JNI to call into a native library, and use .NET interop in that native library to call back into your F# code.  It makes me queasy just thinking about it, but you should be able to do it.

You can't directly but it would be possible (as far as I know) to create a F# COM object and then use something like Jacob to call the COM object from Scala code.  But it'd be kind of a hack so I'd really think long and hard about the necessity to code part of the solution in F#.  If part of your solution is already coded in F#, then that might be a way for you to reuse the code but, as I said, I'd really have to give such a solution a lot of thought before I went that way.  And, of course, using COM ties you to Windows if that's a consideration.
