Learn to build a Roguelike game in Scala
The only one I know of is SGL but I don't know how actively it's being worked on and it's still an OO flavour. I don't know of any FP-first game libs for Scala or Java.

New Zircon Release is out: 2021.1.0-RELEASE
There is another improvement that helps with extensibility: now it is possible to create custom tileset loaders. There is already a WIP loader that uses Tiled's format.
One important change that was a blocker for some other things was the reliance on the global Zircon object that also held some state. With #404 completed now there is no global state, and it is also possible to have TileGrid and / or Renderer objects without having an Application that continuously renders content.
