I think the underlying reasoning is Scala trying very hard to fit into the Java/JVM ecosystem, i.e., Maven Central and JAR files are the way of the land.

Also... Scala compilation times. Things are improving, but start compiling too many dependencies in your average enterprise project, and weโ€™ll be right back to this: https://3d.xkcd.com/303/

To be fair, things aren't anywhere as bad in other JVM languages like Clojure and Kotlin (despite not exactly loving Gradle as a build tool either). Scala problem was mostly self-inflicted when the community embraced sbt.

Also, sharing and adding the #scala hashtag so I donโ€™t feel too hypocritical after all my pep talks about the discoverability of niche content on Anostr. ๐Ÿคฃ
