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.

Every time I sit down to use an HTTP client and JSON parser, I get really frustrated
Requires deep knowledge of implicits and how to debug them. Which if you have nested data structures is basically impossible without something like Splain.

Getting Comfortable with Implicits
In Scala 2.13 and above, there is a compiler switch that will print out the exact implicit you are missing at compile time and why (https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/compiler-options/errors.html). Prior to that in scala 2, you need the tek/splain compiler plugin (https://github.com/tek/splain).

Tooling question
Another thing to look into is sbt-revolver, this will shorten the turnaround time on whatever machine is running sbt. I remember it being pretty helpful when I was working with scala.js. Good luck!

Friction-less scala - Tell us what is causing friction in your day-to-day life with Scala
SBT. It's not because of the pseudo-scala config language, that looks especially alien next to braceless Scala 3 code. Or the weird symbolic operators. The big problem is correctness; in almost every project I've had to use spray-resolver because I've encountered weird bugs because SBT reuses the same dirty JVM. I really thing Drip would help here. I'll keep using SBT because it has the best Scala ecosystem support and great plugins like sbt-crossproject. It would also be great to be able to write build.sbt files in modern, regular Scala.
