I was hoping to see more responses :). Looks like hacker community already has ditched Java Web frameworks.

I personally like how Play has evolved, but adoption is severely thin. They just got typesafe backing but Spring with the muscle behind it might be able to shove the rest away.

I am exploring play for my next project, and all i can say is i am thoroughly impressed. With typesafe providing resources, i am hoping this seriously dents J2EE stacks.

2 years back i spent 2K on a group of 4, movies and dinner. It is getting expensive. Growing up, i never spent more than 100 rupees on dinner for one.

This comparison is asinine at best. The runtime is bound to be bigger. And remember DART eventually will have the runtime included in Chrome and hopefully other browsers. The way things are going in the browser world, all people might actually care about is Chrome and if there is a wonderful IDE support which comes with strongly typed languages, there is a real shot at this becoming a standard.

Wow what a relief to see they are dogfooding. This is built on GWT and the performance is kick ass.

We are evaluating Cloud foundry (Java GWT App) and so far changes seem doable to port. The reason cloud foundry is viable is that there is no lock in and if one provider flips another one is just round the corner.

Thanks, yes looks like Typography is the most critical thing. Any pointers for typography?

Thanks will look and will definitely post the URL once we iron out the last few nicks.

i should have mentioned. Our UI is GWT and not sure if custom template would work.

This guy is so much in love with himself :)

wow enjoy the site it is back now as bandwidth limits wane.

agreed that there are more costlier things to worry, but spending the money should be justified. Just the buzz is not a good enough reason, there has to be better reasons. I have personally not experienced downtimes which might justify a better price for one.
