com.lihaoyi issue bounties, September 2024 edition

[lihaoyi]

The May issue bounties paid about ~2,500USD, and the July bounties paid about ~1,000USD, and it's time for another batch. Right now we're looking at ~10,000USD of bounties on the table for people to claim

September's bounties are all Mill themed, around fleshing out Mill's usability from Java and other languages. None of them require deep knowledge of Mill internals, and are suitable for even casual users to pick up and try and implement. They are a non-trivial amount of work, and the bounty values reflect that to try and make it worthwhile

• First Party Support for the Kotlin language (2000USD) mill#3451
• Support mill init from an existing SBT project (2000USD Bounty) mill#3450
• Support mill init from an existing Maven project (1500USD Bounty) mill#3449
• Add Java Checkstyle Plugin (1000USD Bounty) mill#3332
• Support ErrorProne for Java (1000USD Bounty) mill#3447
• Support Palantir-Java-Format for Java (500USD Bounty) mill#3448
• inspect should show some useful info about modules (500USD Bounty) mill#2929
• Allow implicit conversions from String => os.*Path to allow multiple segments if the string is a literal (500USD Bounty) os-lib#294

Some open bounties from previous months remain open for anyone who wants to pick them up:

• Add support for Microsoft SQL server (1000USD Bounty) scalasql#17
• requests.RequestTests fails trying to contact https://httpbin.org (200USD Bounty) requests-scala#132
• Scala-Native Support (1000USD Bounty) requests-scala#156
• Use Java Virtual Threads (Loom) (500USD Bounty) cask#90

The same terms and conditions apply as before:

• These bounties are payable on acceptance of a PR that satisfies the requirements of the ticket.
• Standard PR requirements apply: code quality, tested, proper description explaining the problem and the fix, green CI, etc.
• The bounty is payable out of my own pocket, via bank transfer (I'll contact you for details upon acceptance), and at my discretion in case of ambiguity (e.g. whether a PR fulfils the requirements, or if multiple PRs are submitted).
• There is no "locking" of a bounty while work is in progress: bounties remain open until completed and paid out

The bounties are all open. Happy coding!

@lihaoyi I am new to your library ecosystem, so I am not sure which one will make more sense to me.
Do you have anything in mind?
Thanks!
