Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

Simple, Naïve, and Wrong: More than you wanted to know about Scala Case Classes
I've since figured this out (Scapegoat/FinalModifierOnCaseClass and WartRemover/FinalCaseClass). I plan to add it to the next version of the article.

Which static analysis tool do you use for Scala?
The support for scala 3 has been requested a while ago: https://github.com/scapegoat-scala/scapegoat/issues/521 but the original author has stepped down as a maintainer https://github.com/scapegoat-scala/scapegoat/issues/567 and recently most of the changes are just dependency updates.

Is Scala to Java the same relationship as TypeScript has with ECMAScript?
By contrast, Java and ECMAScript are essentially what we might call "classical" imperative OOP languages, although ECMAScript reveals much more of its Lisp-inspired "map/filter/reduce" FP roots. IMO ESLint is essentially table stakes for working with ECMAScript, but honestly, I wouldn't stop there and would insist on working in TypeScript, including some of the tooling for ESLint specifically for TypeScript, dialing type-safety up to 11, effectively like using Wart Remover with Scala.

Scala Resurrection
I'm awed by the maturity of the Scala 2 compiler. Every minor version in the 2.13 series adds a new linting improvement. You can see that if you have sbt-tpolecat in your project. I'm always happy to see that some option from Wartremover is no longer used.

New to Scala;
I was recently trying to move away from Scapegoat to Wartremover and I got bitten by this bug which is particularly prevalent in codebases using Typelevel libraries.

Which static analysis tool do you use for Scala?
There is also wartremover but you cannot run it separately from your compile command.
