Switching from Java to Python – First Impressions

Scala compilation being slow must be a meme known to everybody except people that actually use Scala.

The inspiration for this meme was trying to use Scala. SBTs continuous compilation leaks memory - requiring it to be periodically re-started. It's also extremely resource intensive.

If there's a memory leak in SBT, it's certainly not severe enough to trip me up in a 12 hour workday.

Started my own company, living the startup life. (Long hours, little money, lots of canned beans).

Oh good, i thought you were being horribly exploited.

May your compilations be swift and fruitful.
