Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Algebraic Effects: Another mistake carried through to perfection?
Sounds a bit like Haxl. From this page:

Ban 1+N in Django
+1. The JS event loop auto-monad-izing Promises into Haxl [1]-esqe trees of implicitly-batched loads has been a big win for us building on JavaScript/TypeScript.
If I had to move to another language, I'd really want to find a "powered by the event loop / dataloader" framework, i.e. Vert.x for Java.
Also, per dataloader, a shameless plug for our ORM that has dataloader de-N+1-ing built natively into all object graph traversals:

You mean, Haxl? [1] But AFAIK only a few devs are involved for the development.

Do You Know Where Haskell Is Used?
Probably, the most googled and well-known example of Haskell application in major companies is the Facebook Meta spam filters. Messages containing spam, links to potential malware and phishing attacks are filtered by Sigma, the system that was rewritten in Haskell in 2015. The choice of language was based, among other things, on performance requirements, the need for pure functions and static typing, as well as the possibility of interactive development. The Haxl framework is used under the bonnet, which the company has open-sourced. You can find more details about the development process and technical aspects in the company’s blog post.

An Ideal Data-Model-First Development Approach for the real-world apps
Since you mention Any real-world application uses a database or seventeen in the backend, it's probably worth checking out https://github.com/facebook/Haxl as its goal is to allow you to write high-level queries in Haskell and have the library call out to different datasources as efficiently as possible.

I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular
scala has 2 healthy and pretty complete lib ecosystems : check out typelevel and ZIO. Both are FP oriented, which might not be your cup of tea at first glance but I would encourage you to try em out ! Softest introduction would be to start with the typelevel cats library and build up from there. The excellent Scala with Cats will ease you softly into an FP mindset. It's a bit dated and for scala 2 only but translating to Scala 3 is a very good exercise if you feel so inclined !

Is it prudent to use Scala for anything new?
Last but not least, Scala is currently the language with one of the best effect systems in my opinion (https://zio.dev/). Kotlin for example has copied the approach with https://arrow-kt.io/ which I think is great actually. But when comparing Scala and Kotlin here, Scala wins by a large margin, it is a completely different world. It's like building a highly concurrent system in Erlang vs C.
Of course, if you don't want to learn things like union types, traits/typeclasses and effects (similar to async/await but more powerful) you will be annoyed by Scala. But once you learned them, you can never go back.

Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It? [pdf]
I use ZIO (http://zio.dev) for Scala which makes parallel programming trivial.
Wraps different styles of asynchronicity e.g. callbacks, futures, fibers into one coherent model. And has excellent resource management so you can be sure that when you are forking a task that it will always clean up after itself.
Have yet to see anything that comes close whilst still being practical i.e. you can leverage the very large ecosystem of Java libraries.

40x Faster! We rewrote our project with Rust!
The one advantage Rust has over Scala is that it detects data races at compile time, and that's a big time saver if you use low level thread synchronization. However, if you write pure FP code with ZIO or Cats Effect that's basically a non-issue anyway.
