Yes, and you can (via SBT) slowly introduce Scala into an existing Java codebase quite easily.

- vips7L 4y agoI wouldn't wish SBT on my worst enemies.
- halfmatthalfcat 4y agoSurely with GPT, it can't be that bad anymore ;p
- vips7L 4y agoWe just updated our version and sometimes it'll get stuck in an infinite compile recursion loop. I dream of maven.
- therealdrag0 4y agoIt’s terrible. But at least I rarely have to touch the config. I guess the silver lining is it’s so bad we don’t use it for anything besides dependency management so configs are simple and just copy pasted between projects and rarely touched.
- dxxvi 4y agoA java project never uses sbt. Both maven and gradle have plugins for Scala.
- lmm 4y agoSBT is the worst thing about the Scala ecosystem. Just stick with Maven (or Gradle, if that's what you're using), enable the Scala plugin, and start trying Scala in more flexible leaf areas of your program (e.g. integration tests, ancillary tools, data migrations). See if it feels right for you.
- hf_twink 4y agoMixed compilation is absolutely terrible (slow) with Gradle, is it faster with SBT?
