I agree that the compiler slowness is pretty annoying. A clean build for my project takes more than 30 seconds. That being said, I do appreciate how much the compiler does for me, with the type system and implicits.

I think a faster compiler is coming, but probably not right away. From another comment on this page, it sounds like Scala 3 is going to break source compatibility to remove or improve a lot of the stuff that's holding progress back.

Well a C++ clean build would probably take a few hours. I know the projects I worked on did.
