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?
sbt (lowercase) has improved a lot, but Mill is a serious alternative today.

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.

Simple, Naïve, and Wrong: More than you wanted to know about Scala Case Classes
I've since figured this out (Scapegoat/FinalModifierOnCaseClass and WartRemover/FinalCaseClass). I plan to add it to the next version of the article.

Which static analysis tool do you use for Scala?
The support for scala 3 has been requested a while ago: https://github.com/scapegoat-scala/scapegoat/issues/521 but the original author has stepped down as a maintainer https://github.com/scapegoat-scala/scapegoat/issues/567 and recently most of the changes are just dependency updates.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Mill and Scapegoat you can also consider the following projects:
sbt - sbt, the interactive build tool
Scalastyle - scalastyle
dotty - The Scala 3 compiler, also known as Dotty.
Wartremover - Flexible Scala code linting tool
bloop - Bloop is a build server and CLI tool to compile, test and run Scala fast from any editor or build tool.
Scalafix - Refactoring and linting tool for Scala
Linter - Static Analysis Compiler Plugin for Scala
scalafmt - This repo is now a fork of --->
Scoverage - Scoverage Scala Code Coverage Core Libs
Scalariform - Scala source code formatter
