Scala opensource projects
There's the Li Haoyi's ecosystem of tools and libraries that's fun to hack on, has a low entry-bar (with a design philosophy of using the least complex abstractions for the job), and has few libs like requests and cask that may appeal to those liking some python minimalism. That's not the fastest way to learn hardcore FP, that's not the worst either.

Scala Toolkit makes Scala powerful straight out of the box
Another thing that caught my attention is the choice for HTTP client. If the authors wanted to go with the simplest thing, they could have picked requests-scala (from the com-lihaoyi family of libraries). If they wanted to go with full blown Scala FP, they could have chosen http4s client (Ember). Sttp awkwardly sits in the middle being neither.

Scala vs Java/C# code examples
Finally, to give you an example of how simple Scala can be when you get rid of all the fancy stuff, take a look at the examples in Li Haoyi's requests-scala library, a port of the excellent requests Python library. I challenge anyone to call that code complex.

Every time I sit down to use an HTTP client and JSON parser, I get really frustrated
http4s (either with Blaze or Ember) is great, but you may need to think a bit about what you're doing. Maybe https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/requests-scala will be the best choice for your particular situation?
