Scala with batteries included
summary
Claim: vanilla Scala can be "battery included" by shipping a focused CLI and curated libs. Built a working Scala CLI that runs scripts, shebangs, produces native executables, Docker and Debian packages, and can launch a Spark standalone job; demo uses incremental compile, native packaging and automatic tool installs (bloop). Proposed Scala Toolkit curates libs like uPickle, an HTTP client, OS utilities and MUnit, provides centralized docs and simple imports. JVM usage needs only Java; native workflows pull LLVM/Node. Maintenance is by Scala Center and VirtusLab.
