Java21/Virtual threads, simplest the most boring scala http server stack ?
I want to just block as if there's no tomorrow, no effects / hardcore FP (maybe only something like https://github.com/softwaremill/ox), what would you use? E.g. for http server / db / json ?https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/cask ?

Scala opensource projects
There's the Li Haoyi's ecosystem of tools and libraries that's fun to hack on, has a low entry-bar (with a design philosophy of using the least complex abstractions for the job), and has few libs like requests and cask that may appeal to those liking some python minimalism. That's not the fastest way to learn hardcore FP, that's not the worst either.

Replacing Play+Akka with another tech-stack in Scala

Starting with scala
Is play-framework a strong requirement? If not, you might have an easier time building a simple API and serializing JSON with the lihaoyi ecosystem, namely cask as the microframework and uPickle/uJson.

Scala became Typelevel/Zio only ecosystem?
For people who want to get their feet wet with Scala, I highly recommend Cask and the rest of what some people affectionately call “the Singapore stack,” in honor of Li Haoyi, its developer. He emphasizes tasteful use of Scala features with an emphasis on API ergonomics. All of his work is a joy to use.

Mill, Cask, and SBT
The documentation points to a pretty outdated example. Can you try with the latest 0.8.3 release?

Explicitly so:

Anything close beam/otp for other languages?
I really like Eclipse Vert.x... As both an Erlang dev and Java dev, it's a great synergy and soon to have support for Virtual Threads similar to BEAM.

Go doesn’t do any magical stuff and I love that
There are many lean, popular, non-magical libraries in Java land. (https://quarkus.io/, https://vertx.io/, etc). Spring is a monster 😱. Its like comparing Kubernetes (written in Go) with some lean framework in another lang.
