The JVM has had native-like throughput for long-running batch processing jobs for years - of course you can always tune further, but it already fits nicely with what Spark is used for. Scala Native makes more sense for things like command-line utilities that need to start up quickly, or in the future maybe real-time systems that need to avoid GC.
