That would definitely be an issue as well. Although, this is easily configurable within the application.conf file if I remember correctly.

My best guess is that the java one is slow due to ebean (I've always seen huge performance improvements from switching to raw jdbc). The scala one I have no clue.

I think that the play-java one would likely benefit greatly from using raw jdbc rather than the ebean ORM. In fact my best guess is this is why the scala/java versions are so far apart. In past projects, scrapping ebean always led to large performance improvements in throughput, etc.

Lately I have been using Java/Scala + Play2 + MySQL and MongoDB/CouchDB. For some of my contract work I use the full JavaEE stack (including JSF, JSP, etc).

I have also used Python and Clojure quite a bit recently, and plenty of other frameworks and languages in the past.

Agree on the picking up of new techs being fun, probably why I have used so many different techs over the past few years.

I would be interested in doing something like this. What type of technologies/frameworks are you thinking about using?
