Trying to decide on Scala or Kotlin

• ZIO

  59 3,991 9.5 Scala

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

  

If you want to use Scala then I would use something like ZIO as it is the closest to an FP application framework.

• Vert.x

  46 14,084 9.5 Java

  Vert.x is a tool-kit for building reactive applications on the JVM

  

Another option that I would strongly consider is Vert.x. It allows you to mix/match languages and could be a simple and risk-free way to introduce FP concepts into an application.

  1 19 10.0 Scala

  A framework for writing robot software with functional programming in Scala

  

Whoa! Never expected a discussion about FIRST here! My team in high-school was actually the first (and only afaik) to use Scala to program their robots. We developed a functional framework for writing robot code (https://github.com/Team846/potassium) and even contributed support for 32-bit / ARM targets to Scala Native so we could compile our code to native binaries ahead of time. Our 2018 robot ran Scala Native the entire competition season https://github.com/Team846/code-2018.

  1 8 1.8 Kotlin

  Type-safe, cross-platform robotics framework for real-time control and the orchestration of high-level autonomous behavior.

  

Yeah, the team spent their focus on maintaining a Kotlin framework (https://github.com/Team846/kapuchin) after the switch. But Potassium was designed to be very FRC-agnostic (only ~10% of the code depends on WPILIB) so most components still work out of the box.

• cats-effect

  34 1,962 9.7 Scala

  The pure asynchronous runtime for Scala

  

Cats Effect is a high-performance, asynchronous, composable framework for building real-world applications in a purely functional style https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/

• cats

  43 5,182 8.8 Scala

  Lightweight, modular, and extensible library for functional programming.

  

Cats is a library which provides abstractions for functional programming in the Scala programming language. The name is a playful shortening of the word category. https://typelevel.org/cats/
