Same here, Scala rocks ! Too bad play 2 is now using guice and promots runtime dependency injection like in Java world. Compile dependency injection is much better, I fear they'll try to mimick spring more and more in order to attract java crowds.

Hi, I'm on the Play team. We've got a number of projects showing compile time injection:

Java compile time DI:

Java compile time DI using Dagger 2:

https://github.com/playframework/play-java-dagger2-example

Scala compile time DI:

Scala compile time DI with Macwire:

Thanks!

I got the same feeling here. Implicits in Scala can act as statically checked dependency injection, I don't know why they are going for this runtime dependant injection instead.

Play supports static DI aka cake pattern or macwire aswell.

Until you start working with Clojure or even Kotlin. Then Scala feels like a baroque behemoth.
