Compilation time: a bigger hammer - Intermediate
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Scala compilation time is excessive. Projects in the range of millions of lines of code frequently experience compilation times of tens of minutes or even hours. Moreover, compilation times are unpredictable, depending on a combination of language features, external libraries and type annotations. A single line change may increase compilation times ten fold. Can we fix this? Come and find out!
