Trying to decide on Scala or Kotlin

1. ZIO

   1 61 4,207 9.8 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.

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. Vert.x

   2 50 14,467 9.6 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.

4. potassium

   3 1 18 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.

5. code-2018

   4 1 4 10.0 Scala

   Team 846's code base for their 2018 robot

6. kapuchin

   5 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.

7. cats-effect

   6 35 2,124 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/

8. cats

   7 43 5,324 9.1 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/
