Just look at plumbing with init, data records and with. That is what a case class with val properties in Scala gives.
But congratulations to the team on shipping v9.
Thankfully that problem doesn't exist with C# /s
For a mid-sized web service (tens of thousands of LOC), a clean compile might take ~30-40 seconds, but you rarely do those. Incremental compiles take more like single-digit seconds, and for most projects you can have a solid “compile on save” type setup that makes it pretty unnoticeable. And sbt itself, which used to be very slow to startup (sometimes 10-20 seconds), now starts up in a couple seconds.
It’s not lightning fast like Go, but it’s way faster than it used to be. Not much of a pain point anymore unless you’re dealing with truly huge projects.
It isn't. Pretty much every release (including C# 9.0) adds some features that make your code more concise.
