This article reads like an advertisement for play2. I created apps with play 1 and when play 2 was released I was quite excited hoping for things to get even better. Unfortunately the authors like Guillaume Bort and some others found love for Scala. Now the core framework is written in scala and play feels like a scala framework even though they added some Java Apis. The last time I checked play2 out there were conceptual inconsistencies between scala and java flavors of play2. For example Java comes with a hipster ORM (ebean) and Scala has a completely different almost non ORM flavor called anorm. Also IDE Support for play2 java flavor sucks. The biggest advantage of playframework was to have an agile framework like rails in the java world. This advantage has gone.
