Not from hell, though*.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Just finished porting a Play app to 2.4. Not an easy task, even though I like the DI better than Java EE's. Play! still seems to be better-suited for HTTP interfaces, as it does not try to abstract HTTP away. But it's not a clear-winner-by-KO.</div><div class="">IMHO, the main issue with Play! is the tools - IntelliJ is the only IDE to that supports it at the moment. ScalaIDE has some official support, but since I've installed it the JVM crashes (that is, I get the OSX's crash dialog, not even Eclipse's). There's a NetBeans plug-in on the way (<a href="http://nbpleasureplugin.com" class="">http://nbpleasureplugin.com</a>). As IntelliJ is expensive, buggy, eats RAM and CPU and is generally annoying, I currently use Sublime text and the console. The amazing part - I'm still quite productive with this setup.</div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 22 Nov 2015, at 13:49, Philip Durbin <<a href="mailto:philipdurbin@gmail.com" class="">philipdurbin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><p dir="ltr" class=""><a href="http://horstmann.com/unblog/2015-11-21/index.html" class="">http://horstmann.com/unblog/2015-11-21/index.html</a></p><p dir="ltr" class="">"All work and no play makes Jack a dull programmer.
