I've been a developer over a decade, never touched the JVM because I always figured it was bloated Enterprise garbage.

I did a project using GraalVM's polyglot abilities and needed an API.

Tried Spring, Micronaut, Helidon, Ktor and Quarkus.

Quarkus is the best web framework I've ever used, in any language. Can't go back now.

It's so well-architected that I was able to contribute an extension for Scala 3 support within a month, and the Redhat employees have answered every question + issue I've raised.

Being built on top of the Microfile spec and using Vert.x is a hell of a combo. Vert.x is the best thing since sliced bread too.

Can't recommend Quarkus enough, whether you write Java or Kotlin or Scala (I'm a big Kotlin fan myself).

Just had a look at your scala 3 extension, it's really nice. Does it support hot code reload like you would get in quarkus dev mode with java?

Yes, that's correct =)

Admittedly the install instructions for Gradle are a bit dated. Gradle 7.4 shipped with Scala 3 support.
