Truly standalone Scala scripts

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

TSK (The Scripting Kit) creates truly standalone Scala scripts by prepending a shell preamble disguised as a Scala comment that bootstraps boot.tsk, uses coursier to download a JDK and artifacts, and invokes bloop to compile and exec the resulting JVM program. It runs on Linux, macOS and WSL, works on a clean Fedora container by auto-installing JDK and tooling, caches builds for fast re-runs, generates bloop configs for IDE support, and plans GraalVM native compilation plus Mill/sbt export.
