This is super interesting. I was a pretty early adopter of Scala, but our org grew fairly frustrated with in in 2013/14 due to the slow compiler. We invested a ton of effort into building tools to mitigate this problem (effort we'd rather have spent on our actual business).
I haven't really touched it beyond tiny toy projects since 2015 though. Really glad to hear that compilation speed has gotten so much better.
Where the better-files library went from taking ~700ms to compile in 2016 to ~230ms today. Definitely a huge improvement that our developers appreciate every day!
