Scala 3 is the latest major release of the Scala language—featuring a complete compiler rewrite (Dotty), new syntax with optional braces and given/using contextual abstractions, union/intersection types, opaque types, first-class enums, and better type inference. It unifies object-oriented and functional programming paradigms into a safer, more expressive language running on the JVM with full Java interoperability.

SpinalHDL is a hardware description language (HDL) embedded in Scala. It allows designers to describe digital hardware (FPGA, ASIC) using higher-level constructs (object-oriented, functional) while generating low-level hardware description outputs (VHDL, Verilog). It seeks to be more powerful and expressive than VHDL/Verilog, reducing verbosity, without introducing performance or area overheads relative to hand-written VHDL/Verilog, and generating exactly what is asked.

Shapeless is a powerful generic programming library for Scala, enabling compile-time abstraction and manipulation of types. It provides features such as HLists (heterogenous lists), generic derivation of type class instances, dependent types, and polymorphic functions—allowing developers to write boilerplate-free, type-safe code.

Vale is a modern systems programming language with its own compiler; it aims to be fast, safe, and flexible. It is AOT-compiled to LLVM, statically typed, and uses a “generational references” technique for memory safety without garbage collection. It also plans to include region-based borrow checking for additional performance. Vale provides single ownership, no garbage collector, focusing on native speed and safety.
