The important thing is not at which stage in the compilation pipeline the bug became obvious, it's at how many seconds elapsed it became obvious.
I generally found that working in untyped js with a workflow prioritising fast iteration was much better for finding bugs quickly than working in Scala with its advanced type system and miserably slow iterations.
But as you say, it's possible to have both.
- tormeh 9y agoScala has incremental compilation now through SBT, I believe. How long ago was this?
