best choice even for Scala. Popular compiler plugins (as of 2018)
include:

- Alternate compiler back ends such as Scala.js, Scala Native, and
Fortify SCA for Scala.
- Linters such as Wartremover and Scapegoat.

- Plugins that support reformatting and other changes
to source code, such as scalafix and scalafmt (which are
built on the semanticdb and scalahost compiler plugins).
- Plugins that alter Scala's syntax, such as kind-projector.

Some tasks that required a compiler plugin in very early Scala
versions can now be done using macros instead; see [Macros]({{ site.baseurl }}/overviews/macros/overview.html).
