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.

The golden age of Kotlin and its uncertain future
It also benefits from being one of the only full-stack languages.
Scala.js has excellent front-end frameworks like Slinky React [1], Laminar [2] and Scala has industry-leading concurrency libraries like ZIO [3]. I've yet to find anything that comes close for end to end web apps.

Faster Scala.js development with front-end tooling and new tutorials
I hope you do a tutorial with Slinky.
-
SCALAJS-React with Azure AD authentication
If you are just starting I would strongly recommend going with Slinky over Scalajs-React as it it's very close to normal Javascript and will make the translation easier.

Any good examples of an android app written in Scala?
A few links: * https://medium.com/geekculture/cross-platform-mobile-dev-with-scala-and-capacitor-54e69b62b50c * https://slinky.dev

Pleasant to use Scala libraries
Slinky for me is a perfect example of a library.

Show HN: Simple games ported to Scala 3 – Try them in the browser
For those interested in Scala.js I would recommend two UI frameworks:
a) Slinky - https://slinky.dev
b) Laminar - https://slinky.dev
-
What are Diode alternatives?
p.s. Slinky is another Scala.js based React wrapper that you might like to explore.
-
Recommended simple static website generator that is well-maintained that plays well with scala(.js) (3) ?
Slinky has an example of their docs being generated using SSR with Scala.js.
-
State of Scala.js frameworks
b) Slinky is by far my favourite React framework. It is simple, well supported and matches up with Javascript so you easily port code. You can use any React UI library you like although my preference right now is Shoelace. I can open source my wrappers if there is interest.
-
Questions about Scala-js!
Slinky shines here because it is pretty similar to writing React in js, you can even export your own components to be consumed from js apps, I consider this the better alternative for onboarding js people.

How to get started?
http4s is a Typelevel project, and therefore falls into the "program in Scala as if it were Haskell" category. Many people find this off-putting, but honestly, I think with the resources listed above, this is the option at the best intersection of "mature" and "well-documented" available in Scala. The reason it's off-putting to many people is that Haskell-style pure FP isn't mainstream, so it isn't so much a matter of learning a new technology as it is a matter of learning a new paradigm, which necessarily means surfacing and unlearning things you already know, and perhaps confronting the uncomfortable feeling that things you thought were "fundamental," "have to be that way," aren't, and don't. I personally found this process liberating. But not everyone does.

Server Stack Options for Scala
If you want a mature REST API library, I recommend http4s. Be aware, though, that it’s based on purely-functional programming with Cats, cats-effect, and fs2, so if you’re not familiar with them or aren’t prepared to commit to the paradigm, the learning curve may be daunting, seem pointless, or both.
-
Sequential application of a constructor?
See also cats-effect and fs2. cats-effect gives you your IO Monad (and IOApp to run it with on supported platforms). fs2 is the ecosystem’s streaming library, which is much more pervasive in functional Scala than in Haskell. For example, http4s and Doobie are both based on fs2.

Relative popularity of programming languages on Hacker News
Scala devs are too busy wondering about free monads and F[Request[F] => Response[F]]. I am very pleased by http4s, Doobie, ScalaJS, and the whole ecosystem, really: https://http4s.org

http4s as a replacement for akka-http?
In reality, your performance issues will not be http4s, but something else. That being said, there are improvements that http4s can and is making, and I'm quite excited about the future 1.0 release, which has some important and fundamental performance improvements already, like a a 125% performance improvement on the plaintext benchmark from https://github.com/http4s/http4s/pull/6091 - and finally, yes, akka-http does have very good performance, but you can also get good performance out of http4s.
-
Is Scala a good choice for a data intensive web backend?
http4s for REST services.
-
Scala became Typelevel/Zio only ecosystem?
This is a long list of misunderstandings I don’t have the patience to unpack. Instead, let me refer you to the links in my top comment in the thread, then suggest you learn at least http4s, a purely-functional web service library that’s been used in production for a decade or so now.
-
Pleasant to use Scala libraries
The most popular nowadays are - I guess - akka-http and http4s. You can also use Play if you don't want to start from scratch but prefer a framework-based approach.
