I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular
once you outgrow scala-cli, you should know sbt has a lot of plugins ( some might say it's ecosystem is the only thing keeping it relevant....) like sbt-native-packager which again does the heavy lifting for you

Asking for help to improve codepreview
So far, we have been working mainly with projects that use https://github.com/sbt/sbt-native-packager, still, projects building fat jars should also work smoothly.

I removed sbt-assembly and sbt-buildinfo from my project.
You should use sbt-jib. (You shouldn't use sbt-native-packager either, it doesn't work well in this regard: [1], [2].)

Why Scala is way slower than python ... and than Java too in leetcode?
As others have stated, this is mainly due to the nature of the JVM. You can try using GraalVM however, which basically complies JVM bytecode to native-code avoiding startup time issues, sbt-native-packager lets you do this quite easily.

SBT error when running package application: java.lang.RuntimeException: No main class detected.
IMO don't take any of this advice and use https://github.com/sbt/sbt-native-packager

Evolving Scala
> If anyone care to share their experience with GraalVM's native-image, I'd be interested in hearing that.
The main issue is if you are using reflection, which needs metadata adding to describe it so the necessary metadata is included in the image. Some libraries already have it built in, and there are tools to help.
For building, https://github.com/sbt/sbt-assembly supports native Image.

Trouble with sbt-native-packager
sbt-assembly is still my go-to. So what I'd prefer is the combination of sbt-assembly (to build my .jar that I can just java -jar anytime I want) and sbt-jib (to construct my OCI image including my assembly .jar for deployment in some container orchestration environment).
- sbt-assembly 2.0.0-RC1 released

SBT error when running package application: java.lang.RuntimeException: No main class detected.
You may also use sbt-assembly to produce an uber JAR that embeds the Scala stdlib together with your code, which means that now for running your program you only need a JRE like java -jar app-assembly.jar. This option is great because now if you start adding dependencies to your project those are also included in this massive JAR.

Welcome to JAR Hell, Part 2: Deployment Strategies
Sbt-assembly defaults to silently concatenating configs. But even if it didn't, the configs wouldn't be in any particular order when resolving.

Building native images and compiling with GraalVM and sbt
With the sbt-assembly plugin you can create JAR-files with all of its dependencies (fat JARs). sbt assembly creates this target/scala-2.12/apply-at-vdb-assembly-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar which has a size of around 42MB:
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sbt-native-packager and sbt-assembly you can also consider the following projects:
sbt-pack - A sbt plugin for creating distributable Scala packages.
sbt-buildinfo - I know this because build.sbt knows this.
coursier - Pure Scala Artifact Fetching
sbt-release - A release plugin for sbt
xsbt-web-plugin - Package and run WAR files from sbt
