Use case

Scripting with Scala CLI

Scripts are as powerful as other programs

Scripts in Scala CLI can use dependencies and other features as standard Scala programs. Scala CLI is command-line first, giving access to all its features without the need for any configuration files or specific project structure.

Embeddable Scripts

Scala CLI can be set up in shebang lines, making your *.scala or *.sc (or even .java or .md!) files runnable.

Scala CLI supports piping inputs and is designed to be embeddable in other scripts, turning Scala into proper scripting language.
