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.
Chimney
- Chimney 0.8.0 (stable) released
- Chimney 0.8.0-M1 with the initial support for Scala 3
- Chimney 0.8.0-M1 – type mapping library for Scala released for Scala 3
-
ORM in Scala
But yeah, I wonder if using a tool for case classes conversion like https://github.com/scalalandio/chimney would help in managing those ADT hierarchies for DB/business logic/web layer/etc.
-
Chimney 0.7.0 released
Hello, if you have some nice examples could you please check if it's something that would fit any of issues planned for 0.7.1 or create a new one?
-
Output object with Circe with sealed trait + case classes adds sealed trait block
Perhaps, https://github.com/scalalandio/chimney would leverage it.
-
Smithy4s 0.15.0, now with Smithy 2.0 support
Thankfully, there are some solutions that can help reduce the boilerplate of these manual conversions. For instance, chimney : https://scalalandio.github.io/chimney/

Is it possible to get runnable generated scala code from a macro (chminey to be specific)?
I want to upgrade one project to Scala 3.1, but I'm using the macro heavy chimney (https://github.com/scalalandio/chimney) to reduce the boilerplate, which is not available for Scala 3 yet. My idea was to copy and paste the code that chimney generates on 2.13, and after that uncomment the uses of chimney for now.

From ES6 to Scala: Basics
In my $dayjob we originally used Scala, but I pushed for a couple of new services to be written in TypeScript/Node as it was really hard to hire Scala developers. I'd say it worked well, we even took a somewhat functional approach to building things. We tried fp-ts but that was a bit hardcore (when you are trying to hire TypeScript developers who don't know functional programming), so just built Either and Option types which provided 99% of what we needed.
There are still a few things I miss though:
* Pattern matching and exhaustive checking. Using a switch statement it is possible to define a function that can emulate the compile-time exhaustive checking, but it's still rather weak compared to what you can do in Scala.
* Implicits. Being able to define something that can convert say a UUID to a String or vice versa automatically just feels like magic, especially when dealing with data from third party systems.
* Compiler macros and metaprogramming. It enables tools like Chimney (https://scalalandio.github.io/chimney/) to be built, which I don't think are possible with TypeScript right now.

Scala Type Classes from Scratch
Converting between these classes can add some boilerplate, but luckily there are libraries like https://github.com/scalalandio/chimney that make it much easier.

Ref in cats-effect. When should I use it, and when should I not?
Without concurrency, using a Ref doesn't buy you anything over just using a var. If you want the benefits of immutability with an API that resembles mutability, you have to use something like Monocle.

Show HN: Monocle – bidirectional code generation library
A very popular Scala optics library is also called Monocle. I’ve been a happy user for a few years:
-
Monocle 3 release candidate - a super useful and simple library for optics with poetic api
See example https://www.optics.dev/Monocle/
- Monocle 3.0.0-M1 is released for Scala 2.13 and Scala 3
-
Monocle 3 Roadmap
We always have work to do, for example to define scalfix rules to automate the migration https://github.com/optics-dev/Monocle/issues/1001
What are some alternatives?
Shapeless - Generic programming for Scala
Quicklens - Modify deeply nested case class fields
Lamma - Lamma schedule generator for Scala is a professional schedule generation library for periodic schedules like fixed income coupon payment, equity deravitive fixing date generation etc.
Enumeratum - A type-safe, reflection-free, powerful enumeration implementation for Scala with exhaustive pattern match warnings and helpful integrations.
cats - Lightweight, modular, and extensible library for functional programming.
Scalaz - Principled Functional Programming in Scala
Scala Graph - Graph for Scala is intended to provide basic graph functionality seamlessly fitting into the Scala Collection Library. Like the well known members of scala.collection, Graph for Scala is an in-memory graph library aiming at editing and traversing graphs, finding cycles etc. in a user-friendly way.
