Description

It is possible, and not too difficult, to run Scala on Azure Functions using the Java Worker with a little bit of tweaking of how the project builds in sbt or maven to produce a fat jar. It would be amazing if MSFT could offer documentation and volcalize support for Scala and perhaps other JVM based languages. Currently, there is no mention of Scala in any of the Azure Functions documentation.

Research direction

Start with the Azure Functions documentation and the Java Worker entry points, then review the sbt or Maven fat-jar build approach described in the issue. Define the scope of first-class Scala support and document what must be demonstrated for a Scala function to build and run through the Java Worker.
