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.

Monorepo: seeking for an advice for bi-lang project
Then there's scalajs-react, which can be integrated with existing React ecosystem, but it's just sooo compex: macros, 5-6 type parameters, hundreds and hundreds of cryptic types. We decided to stick with TypeScript instead.

From ES6 to Scala: Basics
Japgolly has put a ton of time and care into https://github.com/japgolly/scalajs-react which is a complete React binding in scalajs. This paired with something like Diode (https://github.com/suzaku-io/diode) and you get a full frontend solution in scalajs.

What's the maturity level of ScalaJS?
We've got server-side rendering with scalajs-react and scala-graal. Here's a tutorial if anyone's interested. What's really cool about scala-graal is that it has some pretty cool caching so that even with dynamic inputs, you can render pages in nanoseconds (as opposed to 10+ or even 100+ ms).
-
I know the basics, what’s next?
You can use React with Scala.js, and also most other common JS libraries. Or you can use a Scala.js specific library like Laminar, which I haven't tried myself but it looks nice.
-
What language(s) pair well with Rust (learning, using, etc.)? Also, what other languages did you learn before learning Rust?
I don't have a lot of experience with it, but many seem to be very pleased with it. Interop with JS is good and you can use React and other common JS libraries, but there is also Scala.js specific frameworks like Laminar.
-
Does it make sense to use Scala.js/Laminar in the context of a startup?
https://github.com/japgolly/scalajs-react is pretty heavily used as well, and fairly active as a project. In short, building it off of that wouldn't be a huge risk over typescript, and might even be a net win in the long run, as you could re-use some stuff from the backend in the front-end.

I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular
scala has 2 healthy and pretty complete lib ecosystems : check out typelevel and ZIO. Both are FP oriented, which might not be your cup of tea at first glance but I would encourage you to try em out ! Softest introduction would be to start with the typelevel cats library and build up from there. The excellent Scala with Cats will ease you softly into an FP mindset. It's a bit dated and for scala 2 only but translating to Scala 3 is a very good exercise if you feel so inclined !

Is it prudent to use Scala for anything new?
Last but not least, Scala is currently the language with one of the best effect systems in my opinion (https://zio.dev/). Kotlin for example has copied the approach with https://arrow-kt.io/ which I think is great actually. But when comparing Scala and Kotlin here, Scala wins by a large margin, it is a completely different world. It's like building a highly concurrent system in Erlang vs C.
Of course, if you don't want to learn things like union types, traits/typeclasses and effects (similar to async/await but more powerful) you will be annoyed by Scala. But once you learned them, you can never go back.

Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It? [pdf]
I use ZIO (http://zio.dev) for Scala which makes parallel programming trivial.
Wraps different styles of asynchronicity e.g. callbacks, futures, fibers into one coherent model. And has excellent resource management so you can be sure that when you are forking a task that it will always clean up after itself.
Have yet to see anything that comes close whilst still being practical i.e. you can leverage the very large ecosystem of Java libraries.

40x Faster! We rewrote our project with Rust!
The one advantage Rust has over Scala is that it detects data races at compile time, and that's a big time saver if you use low level thread synchronization. However, if you write pure FP code with ZIO or Cats Effect that's basically a non-issue anyway.
