While I don't doubt Play is useful (I haven't personally tried it just yet) I've noticed big tech companies seem to be wasting their time building new frameworks instead of helping improve already existent frameworks in need of new ideas and fresh eyes. Why a new framework? Is it really not a straightforward process to contribute to an already established open source framework for your desired language?
- saryant 14y agoI'm not sure such a framework already existed for Java and Scala. Which one should Typesafe contribute to if not Play?
- taligent 14y agoPlay is not new. It's been around for years and was the first Java framework of its kind. You know in the time it took you to write that you could have Google'd this information.
- brikis98 14y agoPlay is an open source project that has been around for a few years. In fact, that's one of the big selling points for us: we're not inventing something new, but using something the community is using, and contributing back to it.
