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.

Is Li Haoyi libs standard throught scala useres?
To dive into the lihaoyi ecosystem, I recommend the book https://www.handsonscala.com/ by lihaoyi himself.
-
Contrary to popular belief, Scala is actually a quite small and simple language
I recommend people go through Hands-on Scala, by Li Haoyi, a fantastic developer in the Scala community.

How is Databricks' style guide viewed nowadays?
If you like Li Haoyi's style of Scala, his book is a good place to start (it's longer than just a Style guide, of course): https://www.handsonscala.com/

Algorithms and Data Structures in Scala;
is there a great resource, book or library on classic Algorithms and Data Structures in Scala, e.g. similar in scope and quality to Sedgewick Algorithms in Java https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/ I found a very helpful section on algorithms implementation in /u/lihaoyi superb Hand-On Scala Programming book , but unfortunately it's only a few pages (p.107-121). And most other books provide algorithms just an illustration for some neat language feature. The thing is, to get a job as Scala developer these days (in competitive firms) one needs to be a competitive programmer, master of Leetcode, and Scala doesn't seem to have strong ecosystem in that regard as Java, Python or C++. Edit: in DIY spirit and as a learning exercise i'm thinking of translating Sedgewick Algorithms from Java to idiomatic functional Scala, if anyone wants to join this effort or aware of similar ones please let me know Edit 2 (in regards to comments on 'reinventing the wheel' below): if Scala is so great as a language and functional programming flagship, where are all the libraries of functionally implemented algorithms replacing conventional CLRS style imperative/mutable implementations?

Need suggestions on where and how I can practice functional programming with Scala or in general programming in Scala. New to Scala.
handsonscala is a great read for programming in general using scala. Especially if you're the practical kind of learner.

Scala at Scale at Databricks
I will toot the author's horn for him. He has a great series of Scala posts on his blog [1] and his book Hands-On Scala Programming [2] is a great introduction to building real applications with Scala so that any experienced developer can understand and extend them.
I work at a small company that has been using Scala for 7 years. Some of the prior employees clearly enjoyed playing with advanced language features and writing libraries for the most general possible case even when that made it hard to understand how they were used for the 2 actual cases we needed to address in our application code. Akka, Cats, and Shapeless were all over the place.
Those earlier employees have churned off to other places and I have successively simplified the code they wrote that is still useful, while encouraging the use of no more language power than necessary in new development. Hands-On Scala Programming is the book I give new hires as a language introduction that shows the sort of style to be preferred. It's much more like super-powered Python than like Haskell.
I have written C, JavaScript, Python, and Scala for money. When I started on Scala I had never written Java nor used any JVM language. I have come to really appreciate the rich ecosystem of JVM libraries, the instrumentation and profiling tools I get, and many aspects of the Scala language and standard library. I love Scala's collections and miss their power and ease when I'm writing Python. (Which I still do for certain scripting tasks and for accessing Python-ecosystem libraries.)

The dangers of single line regular expressions
`$` does mean end of input in Java, unless you explicitly ask for multiline mode. In the latter case it means `(?=$|\n)` if also in Unix-lines mode, and the horrible `(?=$|(?I wrote a compiler from Java regex to JavaScript RegExp, in which you'll find that particular compilation scheme [1].

Rust on Espressif chips – 2023 Roadmap
> Scala choices were directly dictated by JVM
Initially, yes. But Scala has evolved beyond the JVM, with Scala.js [1] being rock-solid, and Scala Native [2] under development. Neither are truly hampered by the initial JVM roots of Scala.
> Scala gives you a better horse
Weird analogy ;)

Looking for an alternative to Javascript
Have you had a look at Scala.js yet? Also see "Scala.js for JavaScript developers." and "Tour of Scala."

Contrary to popular belief, Scala is actually a quite small and simple language
What does that have to do with language size? It also compiles to js https://www.scala-js.org/ and native https://scala-native.org/en/stable/

Switch JS job for Scala internship?
Here's a hybrid option: Scala.js. Yes, it is about building web applications but in Scala. You can retain the HTML/CSS/JS knowledge you have but build web applications from a typesafe and powerful language: Scala

Dropping Scala 2.11 support in Scala.js and Scala Native
The compiler crash in question affects another feature that we would like to merge for the benefit of all users, namely https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/pull/4735. Keeping 2.11 means that testing and shipping that feature is much more difficult, even for 2.12+ users only. It's not just "to fix a compiler crash".

Windows decide whether your computer has limited or full Internet access
TS is more in the "mixed feelings" department, imho.
I would take Scala.js anytime instead. (If I would need to do front-end ever again).
