I worked at a Scala shop briefly back in 2010-2011. Slow compiles and bad tooling did not begin to describe it. I had hoped things would be better now, but I haven't touched it since.

Things are 100% better. It compiles in speeds comparable to my golang shop now.

Just upgraded to the latest 2.x compiler and it’s definitely leagues slower to compile than javac.

Scala is way different now and tooling is honestly great, unless you compare it with Java tooling (which is best in class).

Compile times got better but are still slower and can be quite annoying. Hope it will be improved further.
