I have used Scala to build the backend of https://huu.la for years, which is not a small codebase anymore, I love the language itself, it's fast, typesafe, productive, and gives access to the rich Java ecosystem. The only thing I dislike is the tooling, especially whenever I open eclipse, the fan just screams to hell and it's still slow as a snail.

You should definitely give Jetbrains free community edition of Intellij Idea together with the scala plugin a try. [0] It feels much better to use than Eclipse.

Have you tried using IntelliJ?

Totally agree, time and again, I see people use Eclipse (for pretty much anything) would be ten times better off in IDEA.
