Full-pass Scala compilation is slow, true. It takes my codebases at work a couple of minutes to compile currently. But
1) sbt incremental compilation is basically immediate. This facilitates tight feedback loops for running tests and using the repl
2) Scala's type system does so much more than fast-compiling languages (Go, Java, etc) that it's definitely worth it. What you lose in compile-time, you gain in speed to a correct and sound solution.
