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.

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.

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?
What are some alternatives?
Http4s - A minimal, idiomatic Scala interface for HTTP
Akka HTTP - The Streaming-first HTTP server/module of Akka
scalaj-http - Simple scala wrapper for HttpURLConnection. OAuth included.
Scalaxb - scalaxb is an XML data binding tool for Scala.
RösHTTP - Unified Scala.js + Scala HTTP client API
Dispatch - Scala wrapper for the Java AsyncHttpClient.
Finch.io - Scala combinator library for building Finagle HTTP services
Spray - A suite of scala libraries for building and consuming RESTful web services on top of Akka: lightweight, asynchronous, non-blocking, actor-based, testable
featherbed - Asynchronous Scala HTTP client using Finagle, Shapeless and Cats
jefe - Manages installation, updating, downloading, launching, error reporting, and more for your application.
