I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular

• kotlinx.collections.immutable

  10 1,081 7.3 Kotlin

  Immutable persistent collections for Kotlin

  

So does Java! Also, kotlinx.collections is still not stable and I don't think they are intending to make it so any time soon.

• sbt-jib

  3 139 3.1 Scala

  sbt version of sbt jib: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib

  

I have been using https://github.com/sbt-jib/sbt-jib for some time now, it makes building images very easy.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Persistent Collection

  4 746 6.6 Java

  A Persistent Java Collections Library

So does Java! Also, kotlinx.collections is still not stable and I don't think they are intending to make it so any time soon.

• sbt-native-packager

  5 1,581 6.8 Scala

  sbt Native Packager

  

once you outgrow scala-cli, you should know sbt has a lot of plugins ( some might say it's ecosystem is the only thing keeping it relevant....) like sbt-native-packager which again does the heavy lifting for you

• ZIO

  59 3,991 9.5 Scala

  ZIO — A type-safe, composable library for async and concurrent programming in Scala

  

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 !

• scala3-seed.g8

  1 27 7.1 Scala

  A giter8 template for getting started with Scala 3.

  

now you might ask : what plugin use to do X ? Where do I find them ? Well, maybe you don't ! Sbt can use g8 ( giter8 ) templates to boostrap projects. The official ones can be a bit bare, but anyone can make their own. Try this one from DevInsideYou for example. He also has a YouTube channel which I would highly recommend. If you look around a bit, you'll find a lot of those setup with libs, boilerplate and sometimes even Github Actions CI/CD pipelines

• awesome-scala

  2 8,927 0.0 Python

  A community driven list of useful Scala libraries, frameworks and software.

last, resources :) if you are still missing something, try looking on the Scaladex or Scala list of awesome which also links to lot of learning material

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• scala-cli

  34 504 9.7 Scala

  Scala CLI is a command-line tool to interact with the Scala language. It lets you compile, run, test, and package your Scala code (and more!)

  

sbt can indeed be a bit harsh for beginners. If your aim is not to build a big project, you might want to use scala-cli instead : no complex build script, only command line goodness to run, test, compile and package your code. Yes it supports dockerization. No need for a dockerfile.

• scaladex
