Play version 2.x is not heavy, being pretty modular and elegant. Give it a try. On the job boards problem - the funny thing in this industry is that you're more likely to find jobs because you use a certain language that's not as popular as Java or PHP. It's a supply and demand issue. Yes, there are many jobs for Java and PHP. But there are also many PHP and Java developers. And as a general rule of thumb, for finding good jobs smart developers focus on skill-sets that are much narrow and harder to practice than usage of a programming language. Focus on scalability issues, on design, on social skills, on data analysis - people that are good at such things are worth their weight in gold.
