My conclusions

My conclusions

Play! framework

Despite really useful advantages i will not use Play! because of

• no backward compatibility (in major versions)
• Scala first approach. (No all API is written for Java. And because of i am a Java developer its important for me).
• lack of learning materials (better is to say that the problem is really fast aging of learning materials because of no backward compatibility)

I can use Scala API, yes i can. But i think that Scala is not a future.

Scala

Scala have also useful advantages but

• is to complicated to start with (is more complicated than Java for example)
• have binary compatibility (i dont see any advantage here)
• is also functional also object oriented (in my opinion the language need to choose one and use it)

Whats next

I saw reactive concepts with Play! framework that are really strong. But Play! is reactive because of Akka under hood. Next I will try Elixir and Phoenix. Elixir is reactive on language level. Awesome ! Elixir is Erlang with new syntax close to Ruby. Also very sexy. Elixir comes from Erlang. And Phoenix is web framework build on top of Elixir. I hope that the combination of Elixir + Phoenix will be big bingo in developing the real time reactive fault tolerant maintainable web applications. I hope so... I will see.
