Dave Pollak has worked in Rails for a long time. JRuby support is on the way for lift too. shrug If Java is a necessity, Play! is a breath of fresh air.

- nickbarnwell 16y agoIn my very humble (and inexperienced) opinion, Play! is the closest you're going to get to the development speed of Rails or Django and their ilk while still using Java.I recently finished writing a small app in it for a school project, and it was nothing but enjoyable. Not in love with the templating, but everything else was a joy.

- steele 16y agoYou'd be doing yourself a favor if you try your hand at Play! in scala. I believe they support scalate which, in my experience in scalatra, has you in the markup trenches a lot less than groovy templating. Specifically, Scaml w/ Jade syntax is pretty impressive. It's analog in rails would be slim-lang.
