" summary

Project survey shows 1,300 responses with 77% main IDE using IntelliJ Scala support. New inspections and quick‑fixes flag wrong collection idioms and double negations, add imports and ExecutionContext automatically, and offer inline type hints plus an experimental xray transient hinting mode. Scala 3 gains literal singleton and match type awareness, enum and top‑level main support, and tooling tracks compilation hotspots via compile‑time charts in the Ultimate build view.
