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.

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.

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.
What are some alternatives?
scalajs-react - Facebook's React on Scala.JS
cats-effect - The pure asynchronous runtime for Scala
Laminar - Simple, expressive, and safe UI library for Scala.js
Monix - Asynchronous, Reactive Programming for Scala and Scala.js.
scala-graal - Make usage of Graal features easy and safe from Scala. Also features Scala-based React SSR.
Http4s - A minimal, idiomatic Scala interface for HTTP
Scala.js - Scala.js, the Scala to JavaScript compiler
Vert.x - Vert.x is a tool-kit for building reactive applications on the JVM
tyrian - Elm-inspired Scala UI library.
cats - Lightweight, modular, and extensible library for functional programming.
