Top 13 Scala Functional Reactive Programming Projects

I use ZIO (https://zio.dev) and nothing really like it exists on any platform.
You can wrap any computation in a single ZIO object e.g. normal, callback, future, promise etc. Which you can then chain together in different ways e.g. run them in parallel, sequentially, race them against each other and kill the loser, scheduling in elaborate ways etc.
And it will execute this either using normal or virtual threads i.e. fibers without locks so it’s extremely fast.
But the incredible part is that it does all of this whilst seamlessly handling every type of error. Which if you’ve ever written complex concurrent code is extremely hard to get right.

Thank you for writing this - it is more detailed that I could come up with!
I would like to add that I feel like functional approaches are more the "future" of programming than trying to iterate over imperative ones to make them as "nice" to use. So I don't really see the big deal of trying to add-on features to existing languages when you can adopt new ones (or experiment with existing ones e.g. https://github.com/getkyo/kyo for a new take on effects in Scala).
