Scala Native is an optimizing ahead-of-time compiler and lightweight managed runtime designed specifically for Scala. Pointers, structs, you name it. Low-level primitives let you hand-tune your application to make it work exactly as you want it to. You’re in control. Calling C code has never been easier. With the help of extern objects you can seamlessly call native code without any runtime overhead. Scala Native is compiled ahead of time via LLVM. This means that there is no sluggish warm-up phase that’s common for just-in-time compilers. ...

Vale is a systems programming language and compiler that strives to combine performance, safety, and ease in a way that avoids many of the complexities of traditional memory management techniques. It is ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled, targeting LLVM as a backend, and is statically typed. The language introduces a concept called generational references to provide memory safety without relying on a garbage collector, and aims for “safe without a borrow checker” (i.e. reducing the burden on the...

Scalding is a Scala DSL built on Cascading that simplifies writing Hadoop MapReduce jobs. It lets users describe data transformations using Scala’s functional abstractions, while abstracting away low-level Hadoop boilerplate. It enables expressive and testable pipeline definitions and integrates with various input/output formats.

...The core philosophy behind Spray is that it should act as a “library” for integration and HTTP layers, not as a full application framework—it gives you the building blocks to handle HTTP and REST but doesn’t impose heavy structure. It includes modules for low-level HTTP I/O, routing, client and server APIs, HTTP model (requests/responses), (un)marshalling, servlet adapters, and testing utilities. Its routing DSL offers expressive combinators for defining HTTP endpoints, and its testkit allows route logic to be tested in isolation (even without spinning up actors). It was popular in earlier Scala/Akka stacks but has since been superseded by Akka HTTP as the maintained successor.
