----------------------------------------------------------------

I've seen a few open-source initiatives so far to have external Scala support for Flink once 1.15 comes out, which will apparently enable users to provide arbitrary Scala versions.

* [flink4s|https://github.com/ariskk/flink4s], which wraps Java APIs for Scala 3 users.
* [flink-adt|https://github.com/findify/flink-adt], which replaces the `TypeInformation` derivation mechanism in flink-scala.

In my opinion, since 1.15 will enable users to load their own Scala versions, it's probably better to deprecate the existing Scala APIs over time rather than upgrade to 2.13.
