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.

Java 21 makes me like Java again
Yeah, it has nice funcional capabilities and libraries (like Arrow[0]).

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.

Struggling with software robustness with Kotlin
In my own code, I started to use explicit error handling. I'm currently experimenting with Result (from https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-result) and Raise (from https://arrow-kt.io/).

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
Are there any more-or-less established functional crates in Rust (similar to Kotlin鈥檚 Arrow)?
-
What's the benefit of using Arrow with Kotlin?
I wonder how the community sees adding Arrow besides standard Kotlin language features. Is it something that's still considered useful or just redundant and causing more confusion?
-
If you HAD to work on a project that primarily used object-oriented design, what functional programming patterns (if any) would you keep in your tool box?
Kotlin鈥檚 really nice, and even better with http://arrow-kt.io

Kotlin for JavaScript
This is very exciting, I have wanted to try Kotlin for quite some time and one of the biggest reasons has been few libraries such as arrow-kt[1].
> Kotlin/JS provides the ability to transpile your Kotlin code, the Kotlin standard library, and any compatible dependencies to JavaScript.
What does it means "compatible dependencies"?

Typeclasses explained in Java
If I managed to gain you interest you can take a look at one of the following libraries like cats, scalaz for scala and vavr for java which contain type class definitions and implementations for common types.
-
What is your favourite Java specific feature that you miss in other languages?
I'm aware not everyone likes it, but vavr has these.
-
Best Functional Library for Java ? And do you recommend going for a functional style in Java?
https://github.com/vavr-io/vavr/releases showed Vavr 0.10.4 from July 2021 as latest release. 馃し

Your own custom Spring Data repository
Functional Programming is becoming more and more popular. Spring provides a couple of DSLs for the Kotlin language. For example, the Beans DSL and the Routes DSL allow for a more functional approach toward Spring configuration. On the type side, Vavr (previously Javaslang) is pretty popular in Java, while Kotlin has Arrow.
What are some alternatives?
Functional Java - Backport of Java 8's lambda expressions to Java 7, 6 and 5
jOO位 - jOO位 - The Missing Parts in Java 8 jOO位 improves the JDK libraries in areas where the Expert Group's focus was elsewhere. It adds tuple support, function support, and a lot of additional functionality around sequential Streams. The JDK 8's main efforts (default methods, lambdas, and the Stream API) were focused around maintaining backwards compatibility and implementing a functional API for parallelism.
