or gradle, or bazel. Scala doesn't require sbt, and the other build tools work well for mixed codebases (scala, java, kotlin, javascript).

One of the reasons I chose F#. Too many choices for a Scala novice. Seems to be a pervasive pattern.

I think Scala was actually a better choice since my company mainly does AI/ML (python) and Scala has some clout in data science. But I’m only migrating the application layer so not a deal breaker.

I was leaning more towards Scala going into the “exploration phase”.

Side note. Using typescript on front end, f# on back, vscode, and GitHub for repo + CI/CD. Feels nice using a single vendor (Microsoft) for dev, even though each tool is stand-alone.

Bazel is a nice build tool, but AFAIK it still doesn't support Scala 2.13, released mid-2019: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_scala/issues/809

I think Lucid (the charts, not EVs) use these internally: https://github.com/higherkindness/rules_scala

And they support Scala 2.13

Interesting. Here is a comparison of the two rules_scala implementations: https://github.com/higherkindness/rules_scala/issues/261
