The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Make Invalid States Unrepresentable
Scala has quite good support for refined types across multiple libraries. A solution using the refined library might look something like

Does the fthomas/refined library work differently in Scala 3?
Does the Refined library for Scala (at https://github.com/fthomas/refined; "eu.timepit" %% "refined") work in Scala 3? Does it work differently?

Type erased on implicit evidence check
I'm trying to create a poor man version of refined types implementation with a simple validation of string content and check the return type via Implicit evidence on another function. It seems that the type got erased after it got returned from the check

Design by contract - Preconditions and Postconditions - I'm really amazed with Scala.
Scala likes to do design-by-contract on the type level. You encode your pre- and post- conditions into types. Libraries like iron (scala 3) https://github.com/Iltotore/iron and refined (scala 2) https://github.com/fthomas/refined allow you to do all that without throwing any exceptions and they can even enforce some simple predicates at compile time.

Restrict uses of annotation in Scala
Annotation is not the only way (and probably not the best IMHO) to do refined types. You might be interested in Iron in Scala 3 or Refined in Scala 2/3.
-
Cross-Training to Ada - which are the best languages to begin from?
I think the way you model problems in Ada is superficially similar to refined types you find in some functional languages (e.g. Scala).
-
Can types replace validation?
In one respect, nothing. You’re right. Even given refinement types as in Haskell or Scala, there is indeed a necessarily-partial function (refineV in Scala) to refine a value to its refinement type.

Help me break the fourth wall
Perhaps refined would help you? It lets you set constraints (i.e. "rules") for values / types. You get compile-time enforcement for constants and fallible methods for runtime values (i.e. Either[Error, RefinedValue]).

Simple, Naïve, and Wrong: More than you wanted to know about Scala Case Classes
This is more or less how derivation works when you want to use something like Refined types (it exposes Validate[Type, Refinement] typeclass if I remember correctly). Enumeratum exposes Enum[A], and newtypes expose Coercible[From, To].

Opinions on implementing traits for validation with the help of a companion object
You will probably be interested into Iron or Refined.
