I fully agree. IMHO scala has one problem: the compiler slowness. It is really a marvellously designed language.

sub projects + incremental builds on a warmed up JVM make for a very quick dev cycle.

Deploying is another matter, full builds lag far behind Java, something that will not be changing anytime soon, scalac is doing a ton of work under the hood.
