Another day of dreaming about Scala 3 enums & union types. Big project for me to upgrade...

ScalaJS community 👋 I have two ScalaJS projects. Project A is 50k LOC Project B is 76k LOC Similar projects, same coding style, B is just larger. With warm SBT and a trivial code change Project A fastLinkJS = 3 seconds Project B fastLinkJS = 13 seconds!!

But I am more productive as everything is in one language and that language has a fantastic type system and ergonomics. There's something about compiling the whole damm thing at once that makes life that much simpler.
