The scala version on the Redis track is an old version. Can this be updated to one of the Scala 3 LTS versions?

@llama-828 Yes, we can update the Scala version for the Redis challenge! I’ll let you know once it’s done.

@andy1li Any updates on this? Even I had been planning to learn Scala, and having the version for the same updated would be very nice to have.

@llama-828 I’ve upgraded the buildpack for your repo and pushed a commit. You can run `git pull` to sync the changes and start using Scala 3.

@EshaanAgg Any new challenge you start from now on will automatically use the updated Scala 3 setup.

Does this work for the Redis challenge? I deleted my current Scala repository and created a new one, but the same still defaults to Scala `2.13.12`.

Edit: Seems like a flake. Deleted the repository again and made a new one, and it works as expected now. Thanks
