In software engineering there aren't many free things. For some of the Scala
features you have to pay with a higher amount of memory used by the Java
virtual machine, and with the compilation time of the function optimizations
(and type system management) done by the Scala compiler. There is a faster
Scala compiler, named fsc, but I don't know how fast it is for larger projects.
