Test runs on the server were taking several minutes for me on this one, and it wouldn't even compile locally due to java version issues, which installing java 7 didn't help. It was so painful I just rewrote in golang (result - remote compile time less than a second!), so it's not too painful to rewrite, the interface is quite well defined, just adjust build.sh and replace start-server. Do Scala compiles usually take this long?
