Rsc (Reasonable Scala compiler) is an experimental reimplementation of the Scala compiler focused on compilation speed, developed by Twitter's Language Tools team. It aims to study the compilation-time cost of Scala features and inform performance improvements in official Scala compilers.

Use cases

  • compile Scala faster
  • measure compilation overhead of Scala features
  • research Scala compiler architecture
  • experiment with a from-scratch Scala compiler
  • identify a fast-compiling subset of Scala

When to choose

  • you are researching Scala compiler performance
  • you want to study how Scala idioms affect compile times
  • you need SemanticDB-based dependency loading experiments

When to avoid

  • you need a production Scala compiler with full compatibility
  • you want new language features or type system improvements
  • you need an actively maintained tool
