The Scala compiler itself is written in Scala, so improvements in performance will also benefit compile times. Or so I hope.

- habosa 14y agoHow is this managed? Is there a "backup compiler" written in some other language to compile the compiler?
- joshhart 14y agoYou use a previous version of Scala to compile the trunk version. It's turtles all the way down! Just kidding. The initial Scala compiler was written in Java. After that was working, they rewrote it in Scala using their initial Java compiler, and then it became the process I mentioned.
