Compile to scala-native target

[schrepfler]

It would be nice if iota would compile to scala-native as well.

Yep! This really just depends on cats compiling to native. Or Iota getting cross compilation for Scalaz, which already supports native!

[schrepfler]

Iota uses full cats? Let's hope it won't take too long.

Iota uses the core FP abstractions from cats as well as Cofree from the cat's free module. Additionally, Iota uses generalized recursion schemes based on Matryoshka.

I was looking at using coproduct for case-app to declare many fields which are mutually exclusive (XorK?) and it would be nice if there's support for iota, until then shapeless seems to be the easiest to support as it already has a scala-native port.

I will have Scala Native support coming soon. It will be for the build of Iota that uses Scalaz instead of Cats, as Scalaz already supports Scala Native.
