Gradle has a daemon, but I have some doubts if it really keeps scalac hot in memory. Last time I tried Gradle was weirdly slow with scala incremental compilation, while SBT worked like a breeze. As for compiling 200k LOC - just split it into modules with sane dependencies and then you don't have that problem. > I think in Scala you can do similar "must recompile all" if you do things like change a global implicit. But there is a world of a difference between changing a signature of an implicit than changing an implementation of a template. If you change the implementation of an implicit, the only thing that needs recompiling is the class defining the implicit, nothing more.
