Play's simplicity and its favouring of 'getting-shit-done'-attitude over the 'layering-and-overarchitecting'-attitude in the Java community has greatly benefited its rise. I really hope this type-safe Scala reimplementation of the framework pays off and is not a step backwards.
- vetler 15y agoThankfully there are people who are working against the 'layering-and-overarchitecting'-attitude, but it takes time to get the message through.
- erwanl 15y agoWe're still in line with our "no useless boilerplate" approach in Play 2.0. You can look at the samples and make up your own mind about whether we've been successful or not: https://github.com/playframework/Play20/tree/master/samples https://github.com/playframework/Play20/tree/master/samples
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoWell, they have had Scala support for quite a while: http://scala.playframework.org/ http://scala.playframework.org/
- jiggy2011 15y agoI hope there is still good support for us old folks who like our plain old Java!
- stephen 15y agoAgreed, I'm not going to say Java syntax is awesome (it's not), but I think the "over-architecting" attitude you mention has done far more to drive people away from Java (e.g. the great Ruby exodus) than the syntax itself.
