One the things I really don’t like about Scala is yet-another-obscure-build system.
I’m forced to use sbt and I don’t like it. And from my reading of my Scala book, the scala compiler is running in some kind of daemon or server instead of a stand-alone compile?
I hate it when so much stuff happens in the background and you can’t figure out what it is.

- dikei 8y agoYou're not forced to use sbt, it just happened that sbt is the fastest/most reliable way to compile scala code. Maven can compile scala just fine, albeit a little bit slower since it has to spawn a new instance of scala compiler each time. The scala compiler is stand-alone, all deamon/server implementations are just workaround to speed up build for any build systems other than sbt.
