Congrats Play team! You really have a winning framework on your hands! Coming from a Java background, it was easy to learn; I was able to launch a dynamic MVP in three days on heroku (shameful plug): carsparkapp.com

It keeps getting better with each release, and as more plugins are written. The docs are really clear, and the community is thriving. Very good stuff!

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 re-connecting (it does reconnect for subsequent requests when pool is in error state)

Why all those fancy effects of things flipping in your webpage?

It confused me for a while, until I understood it, then I think it is fancy, and useless.

But impressive maybe, if it was done using the tech they want you to use.
