Starlark is great, but so is Scala. People underestimate how big the ecosystem is even for a niche language like Scala: - Global publishing and distribution infrastructure - IDE support in multiple IDEs - A huge ecosystem of third party packages, both Scala and Java - An excellent Scala standard library and Java standard library - Good performance. - Tooling! Jprofiler is great. Others use Yourkit or JFR. - Mill leans havily on Scala's FP/OO hybrid style with types, while starlark provides none of that and is purely untyped procedural code
