Scala Graph
Graph for Scala is intended to provide basic graph functionality seamlessly fitting into the Scala Collection Library. Like the well known members of scala.collection, Graph for Scala is an in-memory graph library aiming at editing and traversing graphs, finding cycles etc. in a user-friendly way. (by scala-graph)

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.

C++26: more constexpr in the core language
> Combined with the extremely powerful compile-time reflection capabilities of D it's the closest thing I've seen to Lisp metaprogramming outside of that family of languages ...
Scala gets pretty close to LISP-level of metaprogramming support between its intrinsic support for macros[0] (not to be confused with the C/C++ preprocessor of the same name) the Scalameta project[1], and libraries such as Shapeless[2].
Not comparing Scala to D, just identifying a language with similar functionality.

Question regarding Recursive datatypes and cats typeclasses (Haskell to Scala)
Scala 2-only: * Shapeless (there is Shapeless for Scala 3 but less often needed as basic things are in Scala 3)

Is there the equivalent of this in Scala ? (Maps to Struct)
This is the FromMap typeclass in Shapeless. Note that there’s a companion syntax package for it providing .toRecord for any Map and an appropriately-structured Record (and a Record is the LabelledGeneric representation of a case class).

Scala 3: modifying product types in compile-time
If that's what you want, you can use Shapeless' records and HList. You can probably replicate this in plain Scala 3 with tuples and literal types as you said. It won't play nice with your others libs though but maybe there are integrations.

Does Scala have support for Dependent types?
See the Shapeless Sized example.

How does Scala's type system compare to TypeScript's? Is it as powerful?
Shapeless has Sized: https://github.com/milessabin/shapeless/blob/v2.3.9/core/src/main/scala/shapeless/sized.scala

Fp libraries that target scala 3 exclusively?
I know that libraries like Scodec and shapeless were rewritten practically from scratch for Scala 3, taking advantage of the next syntax and internals, as well as protoquill - a Scala 3 implementation of Quill.

6 Years of Professional Clojure
That largely depends on the type system. Languages like Haskell and Scala which have much more powerful type systems than C/Java/Go/etc absolutely do allow you to do those sorts of things. It is a bit harder to wrap your head around to be sure and there are some rough edges, but once you get the hang of it you can get the benefits of static typing with the flexibility of dynamic typing. See https://github.com/milessabin/shapeless or a project that I've been working on a lot lately https://github.com/zio/zio-schema.

Scala3: Does it provide a simplified way of doing n-term generic parameters?
Just use cats and use the apply syntax .mapN for this. Seriously. There isn't a way to do it without generating source code that I can see in the api. Scala 3's HList Tuples aren't like Shapeless 2's HLists and I can't figure out a way in the api to reduce the tuple members down from (A, B, C, D) into an E, generically, yet with Scala 3 poly functions, unlike what you could do in Shapeless 2 with HList
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Scala Graph and Shapeless you can also consider the following projects:
Resolvable
cats - Lightweight, modular, and extensible library for functional programming.
Cassovary - Cassovary is a simple big graph processing library for the JVM
Monocle - Optics library for Scala
Chimney - Scala library for boilerplate-free, type-safe data transformations
