Then something like os-lib can probably cover your scripting needs.

Spark open source community is awesome
another dev is working on adding an elegant interface to perform Hadoop filesystem operations, similar to os-lib for regular filesystem operations

What learning path did you follow into Scala?
In particular, the ammonite REPL and os-lib are absolutely ace.

Modern Java/JVM Build Practices
That has not much to do with the JVM. See Scala CLI[1] for instance, the developer experience is pretty similar to Cargo.
The thing is, with any non-trivial project, zero to hello world isn't a very useful metric. Gradle (and Maven, sbt, ...) do a lot more than Cargo, and their usage is primarily optimized for complex multi-modules projects.

No-GIL mode coming for Python
The new official Scala build tool / compiler front end (scala-cli) is amazing,
https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/
The thing that really struck me after years of python is how it lets you out dependencies directly in a comment on top of a script and it will download and run with them automatically, without poisoning any system settings. It's so simple!

I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular
sbt can indeed be a bit harsh for beginners. If your aim is not to build a big project, you might want to use scala-cli instead : no complex build script, only command line goodness to run, test, compile and package your code. Yes it supports dockerization. No need for a dockerfile.

Hermetic Java: Self Contained Executable Images
Imo the tooling has to become way more user friendly. The Scala community has picked up on this and made Scala-CLI the official running tool for Scala. It's a great tool for single module projects and makes everything from adding dependencies to building fat jars very easy, also the runner comes as a native image. The reason I'm mentioning is because sometimes we forget how hard it can be as a beginner, especially when younger people are used to simpler CLIs from newer languages.

We even have a ticket for something similar right here. Feel free to upvote and/or comment on it.

[NEWBIE] Why were `~/project/` and `~/target/` added after running `cs setup`?
Check out Scala CLI as it will very soon be the one true and sanctioned way to get started.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing os-lib and scala-cli you can also consider the following projects:
