> Incrementally compiling a 3000 line file in 2011 as you edited it
Heh, that's brilliant, read the SBT compilation guide, 1 source file per class (obviously that's not set in stone, but a good guideline to follow).
Also, SBT is boss. Enabling automatic build in one's IDE is asking for pain. Why, why is the IDE blocking when I save the file? That's why.
> The basic reality is Scala compiles are slow
For deployment sure, but not a show stopper either (20K LOC in around a minute on warm JVM).
For incremental builds Scala is not even remotely slow, particularly if you follow best practices and break your application up into modules (sub projects in sbt world).
Anyway, things have changed (a lot) since 2011, we're not in the stone ages anymore -- if you want that, go check out Haskell where you'll get no tooling, no stack traces, and eternal compile times ;-) With a superior type system, brilliant community, yada, yada if that's your thing.
