So the Scala Center just announced bloop - a tool completely focused on making the Scala edit/compile/test cycle as fast as possible.
This is awesome
SBT is a beast, but most of the time, its immense powers lie idle. I am totally happy to fire up one tool for checking/fetching dependencies, publishing to repositories and other such infrequent operations, and a different that is totally focused on coding.
bloop completely rings true with the UNIX philosophy (a tool should do one thing and do it well) which has time and again shown to be the best way to build systems; the key thing being composability of elements. I'm very excited about this new development which shows that Scala is truly a developer-focused language. Go Scala!
