Scala runtime issue - not entering the main method?

[zsoldosp]

It seems that scala submissions don't even get to the main method... The below code compiles, but gets a time limit exception, which seems to indicate a bug. Submission id is 2938762 .

object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    throw new RuntimeException("does it get thrown?!")
  }
}

HI,

no, its not a bug. Scala's interpreter needs about 1.5 second to start and your solution simply exceeded problem's time limit. Try submitting the same code in other problem, for example: https://www.spoj.pl/problems/TEST/ .

Now Scala should run faster.
