Things are moving fast... I am still on 1.2.X for my applications as I fear the migration models, controllers and especially of Groovy templates to Scala templates.

Especially the increased compilation times when I hit reload are a turn of.

Does anyone know a good Django/Play comparison or Rails/Play comparison? Or a tutorial along the lines of "Play for Rails developers" or "Play for Django developers"?

I'm learning Scala and I want to play with it for webdev, but I know how much "hidden effort" is in learning any framework so i's really love something like this...

I went through all RCs (from 1 to 4) with two applications. Happy to see release now. Great framework.

When they say "predictable and minimal resource consumption (CPU, memory, threads)", what kind of numbers are we talking about, roughly?

Love it. Exquisitely type safe. Just one thing: Weren't we supposed to get WAR deployment support in 2.1?

nothing that awesome to make me switch from Grails.

Is it easy to do non-blocking code in Grails? I have played with Groovy lately and it is definitely a productive language.

2.0.4 had bad defaults and documentation. Some highlights: - half baked config (no array. multiple values can be hacked as `foo.bar={a: 1, b: 1}`) - can only set logging level in the config. and, xml logger config doesn't have application.conf values (logger.* in .conf are useless) - routes dsl (meh) - bad db connection pool. it kills all other connections if a connection fails, and goes into error state instead of r…

the config has arrays, it is a json superset. foo.bar = [1, 1]
