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.

Can I use Scala if my teammates are using Java in a project?
If you want to cut down on code verbosity in Java, I recommend instead looking into using Java 17 (records), and/or the Vavr library (port of some Scala standard library approaches to Java). https://github.com/vavr-io/vavr

Typeclasses explained in Java
If I managed to gain you interest you can take a look at one of the following libraries like cats, scalaz for scala and vavr for java which contain type class definitions and implementations for common types.

What is your favourite Java specific feature that you miss in other languages?
I'm aware not everyone likes it, but vavr has these.

Best Functional Library for Java ? And do you recommend going for a functional style in Java?
https://github.com/vavr-io/vavr/releases showed Vavr 0.10.4 from July 2021 as latest release. 馃し

Z: Point-free programming in Java
I would like to see a more fully-functional tool set available in Java itself. (Functors, Applicatives, Monads, Arrows, and more) Vavr is kind of doing that, but also kind of not really. Scala has all of that, and Scala is fun for sure, but it brings in a lot of baggage for interop. (Sometimes that's not a great choice, e.g. for an old legacy project)

Your own custom Spring Data repository
Functional Programming is becoming more and more popular. Spring provides a couple of DSLs for the Kotlin language. For example, the Beans DSL and the Routes DSL allow for a more functional approach toward Spring configuration. On the type side, Vavr (previously Javaslang) is pretty popular in Java, while Kotlin has Arrow.

Java 16 / JDK 16: General Availability
Or perhaps they could implement it like String. String has mutators but they don鈥檛 change the original value. To get the modified one, assign it to another variable. Another example is the collection framework of vavr.

Going into year 2 of Software Development Foundation Degree, have a particular liking for OOP and SQL, any tips, info or pointers on where to go from there?
I'm sorry, but have you ever done functional programming for a real company, like in a functional programming language like Haskell, Scala, or F#? Have you ever used Scala cats or scalaz? Have you ever learned category theory and how to apply its abstractions in software? Listen u/judethedude2106 this person hasn't gone as far down the functional programming rabbit hole as I have. Beyond learning the basics like the difference between pure and impure functions, what are closures, what higher order functions are and the most common ones like .map, .filter, and .flatmap, the immutable collections like immutable linked lists and trees, and what a Monad is and common monads like those used for futures/promises, async programming, and Option (Some or None, which is used instead of null checking), the more advanced functional programming stuff like category theory based abstractions are totally useless for real jobs and is just a giant time suck. Don't waste years on functional programming, spend at most a few months on it and no more.

In Search of the Best Functional Programming Back-End: 2021 Update
I鈥檝e specifically had 2 job offers internally at my company because of this language. First with Cats and Scalaz and now with ZIO, Scala has taken the best parts of Haskell, the best parts of Scala, and made it really nice to work with. You can barely see the OOP leftovers.
What are some alternatives?
Functional Java - Backport of Java 8's lambda expressions to Java 7, 6 and 5
cats - Lightweight, modular, and extensible library for functional programming.
jOO位 - jOO位 - The Missing Parts in Java 8 jOO位 improves the JDK libraries in areas where the Expert Group's focus was elsewhere. It adds tuple support, function support, and a lot of additional functionality around sequential Streams. The JDK 8's main efforts (default methods, lambdas, and the Stream API) were focused around maintaining backwards compatibility and implementing a functional API for parallelism.
