I’d be curious to know what makes you think that. Scala 3 released relatively recently and is basically a full rewrite of the compiler with a new type system/theory and features that you will see creeping into other languages for decades to come. And Scala 3.3.0 came out weeks ago as the first LTS version of Scala 3. Things are going at a fast pace there, on the library side, ecosystems like typelevel, zio and lihaoyi got a lot of polish and focus on practical use-cases, and tooling-wise, Scala now has cohesive and easy to use IDEs, linter, reformatter, build tools, …
Sure, nothing’s perfect, but it’s a much more vibrant place than most programming communities out there :)
Scala is really nice and fun, but I get the feeling that it’s been kinda dead for a pretty long time
