Compiling like a boss!
summary
Claims concrete numbers: Scala 2.12 yields about 20–30% compile improvement over 2.11, a single implicit/macro fix delivers ~40% reduction across a codebase, and Triplequote builds Triplequote Hydra — a parallel compiler fork that uses all cores and often achieves up to 3x speedups on tests and significant gains on main sources. Tools and support: SBT/Maven/CLI and IntelliJ integration, incremental builds preserved. Hydra is in early access and works by splitting sources across workers, controlling mutable compiler state, and reporting per-file phase timings so actual hotspots get fixed.
