Sorry to disappoint, Scala incremental builds + sub projects = rapid dev, usually @1 second recompile, or a few seconds if several sources need recompilation.
These days the only area where the "Scala is slow" mantra holds any water is with full builds, there, yes, cup of coffee time if you've got a large project ;-)
I think Kotlin will be squeezed from both ends (Java 8 and Scala) for uptake; that is, whenever the 1.0 stable release comes out -- sometime in 2015, right?
If so, around that time Scala 2.12 will have been released and Java 8 will have seen more & more adoption.
Will be fun to find out regardless, lots happening in JVM land these days.
