...It provides syntax‐highlighting, multiline editing, auto‐completion, and dynamic importing of dependencies (using a magic import syntax like import $ivy…). Instead of having to set up an sbt project for many small tasks, one can write Scala scripts (with .sc extension) and run them directly, with Ammonite handling compilation and execution transparently. In the REPL, Ammonite can survive compiler errors (by restarting the compiler internally) and preserve session state, improving resilience compared to the default Scala REPL. It also integrates filesystem utilities and command-line abstractions (via Ammonite-Ops) so that common shell tasks become more Scala-native.

Define your tasks in Scala. Run them in parallel from sbt's interactive shell. sbt is built for Scala and Java projects. It is the build tool of choice for 93.6% of the Scala developers (2019). One of the examples of a Scala-specific feature is the ability to cross-build your project against multiple Scala versions. build.sbt is a Scala-based DSL to express parallel processing task graph. Typos in build.sbt will be caught as a compilation error.
