Yes it gets better, and the 'fsc' (Fast Scala Compiler) does improve on the situation somewhat; but I've always found it annoyingly slow. It should be mentioned that I haven't looked very hard at that language in many years for that very reason; so things could have improved somewhat. And from what I understand, the next version of Scala (Dotty) is going address this issue (build speed).

The compiler has sped up 3x in the past few years. That's a very big speedup, and the current experience is likely nothing like what you remember

  Sounds good, perhaps a language that needs a revisit.
