Since they’re different runtimes, every integration will be out of process. That’s the trend now anyway, so might not be a problem.
Whats your primary motivation for picking up Scala?
Like Greg mentioned, akka.net exists.
If you want a hybrid, functional-first language, F# is very nice.

One of my old jobs tried this and as a whole it was an abysmal failure.. nothing written in java ever got past the prototype stage and meanwhile the business still wants/needs their new features. As a very minor example, I spent a couple days testing out different Java JSON serialization libraries and never even did find one I liked. In .Net I know exactly which library I want to use and how to use it. That's just one very minor thing in the vast universe of building robust software....
