I'm sure this will be down-voted, but extremely rapid turn-around is not always conducive to quality or productivity.

Take time to think more carefully and execute fewer development micro-cycles. Good Scala code is denser and more essential (i.e., free from incidental details and complexity). It demands more thought and that takes time (at least at first). You can progress well with fewer code / test / debug cycles that are individually a little longer and still improve your productivity and the quality of your work.

In short: Seek an optimum working pattern better suited to Scala.
