In terms of performance, do you expect the JS compiler to become more or less equal to the JVM one?

I haven't used the js compiler at all, so not answering your question, but rather asking, have you noticed a difference in the js compiler performance?

[gaetan]

Well it’s just a feeling, but I think it’s a lot less performant. Maybe there is no incremental compiler.

Currently, JS compiler is not incremental. You should compare performance of full recompilation

@konsoletyper So a possible workflow to limit the compilation time is to split a big codebase si multiple modules. Only modules with modifications are recompiled. At the end there are multiples js file that can be merged by require.js.

Another possibility is to wait until we implement incremental compilation. It will be likely available soon in a minor update for 1.1.

Good news. I know that you are working hard on the subject. It’s important for us to be informed. The 1,1 blog post was an important sign to tell us that we can start using it. I can’t wait so I’m looking for the best workflow. The maven plugin seems ok for multi module project but it takes too much time. For the moment, I think I will work directly in Idea with multiple modules.
