Guillaume Bort's Play Framework based on Java and Scala, a programming language, which runs on Java Virtual Machine. Its lightweight architecture gives you the possibilty to develop user friendly web applications with minimal resource consumption. A advantage of Play is the non-use of Java EE constraints, so the realization is compared to other Java-centric platforms much easier. Furthermore, you can combine a lot of available modules and plugins with Play. Most of them are available on documentation page or GitHub. Try it and love it.
