I think there is a great use case for this framework.

It seems like Scala is a platform that some Rails projects move towards. It would be nice to be able to do this transparently to existing customers.

Play is fun, but I'm not sure a Rails project can be 1-to-1 transformed to it. Would be nice to have an easier path forward.

Sounds good. Probably it's easier to do that with Skinny framework than Play2.

On the other hand, I'm afraid that most people are much less likely to re-write existing Rails apps in Scala.

When Rails users need to work with JVM for some reason, Skinny framework will be quite friendly. I believe that it's one of Skinny's raison d'etre.
