Good analysis.

I like Play overall but two things concern me, both related: 1) they are moving toward Scala and 2) they are adopting sbt.

This looks to me more like a "picking a shiny toy" move than something that is being done to benefit users (Scala is still quite a marginal language and sbt is very controversial, even among Scala enthusiasts).



They support both Java and Scala so not really an issue. In any event their support for Scala is the very reason I am looking @ play.
