" summary

Argument: the Scala community spends decades of effort on low‑level pieces — multiple competing effect systems, many JSON codecs — and underinvests in user‑facing libraries. Evidence: the ZIO ecosystem is building streaming, a web framework and distributed computing on top of ZIO; ZIO Schema derives codecs and migrations automatically and produces JSON; a ZIO HTTP client lets code call client.request and provideDefaultClient to fetch a string. Proposal: favor higher‑level libraries and the simple Scala toolkit so users operate at problem level, not implementation detail.
