From First Principles: Why Scala?

Perhaps the better way to phrase this is "the day Lightbend deprecates SBT and tells the community to use Mill", but I agree with the sentiment.

Scala needs a new "official stack", hopefully Mill + utest/Munit + scalafmt (with opinionated settings).

Scala 3 + SBT + Scalatest + whatever formatting isn't going to grab folk's attention.

Maybe so... but so do Python or Javascript. It seems to me some other languages have only one stack (rust: cargo, rustfmt...; the .net world as well). Does it make them better? (honest question). Then again, what's Java official stack?

Exactly! You are far more eloquent than I am, from phone on porcelain throne.
