Mill project structure
I had filed a GitHub ticket, but it was closed as "out of scope". I'm not sure why the maintainers insisted on perpetuating the ambiguity, and would like to know your opinion about the following. None of the references above answer these very basic and very important questions.
- Version 0.11.0 of the Mill Scala Build Tool is out

Why is Scala a mildly loved language?
It was my case, but https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/mill made my life easier

Potentially picking up Scala for a project after a 5 year hiatus - what's changed?

Thats my first time with Scala and wanted to create something interesting as first program, so created simple single colored window in LWJGL (which will turn into traingle), next in my tour is password generator, and then wayland implementetion as generated scala code from XML protocols.
Also, many scala folks are not happy with sbt. There's a new build tool on the block Mill - https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/mill - by Li Haoyi . He's a scala master and he's written a _great_ intro to scala https://www.handsonscala.com/

Suggestion to learn SBT
I still haven't quite figured out sbt, but as an alternative, the mill build tool is very easy to use and well-documented.

Metals vs SBT? (Newbie question)
If you look at the Build Tools section of the Metals documentation, you'll see how Metals supports sbt. It is admittedly a bit of a roundabout process: Metals first imports the sbt build definition into a tool called bloop that implements the Build Server Protocol that Metals relies on for metadata, compilation, etc. for the project.

Confused over current role of bloop with sbt/bsp support
Jorge Vican had finished some work on this in the past, but this feature was abandoned (for now). As u/tgodzik has pointed out, there is not enough interest for this in the community (thanks for replying btw.).
