The compiler is faster than it was, but not exactly fast. SBT I avoid as much as possible, so can't really speak to that. The eclipse plugin is sadly abandoned, but IntelliJ has pretty good support.

Scala is the best language I've ever used - all the good parts of Typescript and all the good parts of Java or Rust. And fintech is one of the few niches where you might still be able to find a job using it.

I don't think they are. The things analog computers work on are still symbolic - we don't care about the length of the rod or what have you, we care about the thing the length of the rod represents.

Java lacks higher-kinded types, so there is no library of helpful functions that work on anything with a .map() method. E.g. if you want to do a tree traversal you'll have to implement it by hand.
