I just started playing with this! It's brilliant. It uses asynchronous I/O and strictly follows a 'shared nothing' policy between instances. Its module repository is pretty useful and straightforward, though they do tend to target Java rather than Scala (which is, of course, compatible). More cool stuff: Writing recurring background jobs: http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2/jobs http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2/jobs Async HTTP/Continuations and a note on WebSockets: http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2/asynchronous http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2/asynchronous If anyone wants to mess around with Play + Scala + facebook connect, I rewrote the play-fbconnect module in Scala: https://github.com/toulouse/play-scala-facebook-connect-example https://github.com/toulouse/play-scala-facebook-connect-exam..., although in doing so I coupled it with the controller using it, throwing away the Java reflection, as it didn't seem to work well with my classes for some reason. Not the best way of doing things, to be sure. As it turns out, though, writing a Play module is quite straightforward, in Java and in Scala (!!! awesome!), so there's no reason I couldn't rip it back out. It's definitely a work in progress, and I'm still learning Scala in whatever time I can spare from work, but if anyone wants to learn Scala and Play with me, it could be fun!
