Define your tasks in Scala. Run them in parallel from sbt's interactive shell. sbt is built for Scala and Java projects. It is the build tool of choice for 93.6% of the Scala developers (2019). One of the examples of a Scala-specific feature is the ability to cross-build your project against multiple Scala versions. build.sbt is a Scala-based DSL to express parallel processing task graph. Typos in build.sbt will be caught as a compilation error. With Zinc incremental compiler and file watch (~), edit-compile-test loop is fast and incremental. Adding support for new tasks and platforms (like Scala.js) is as easy as writing build.sbt. Join 100+ community-maintained plugins to share and reuse sbt tasks. Continuous compilation and testing with triggered execution. Supports mixed Scala/Java projects. Supports testing with ScalaCheck, specs, and ScalaTest. JUnit is supported by a plugin. Starts the Scala REPL with project classes and dependencies on the classpath.
