Scala as template language is totally optional. There are severals options: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.0.3/Modules

Thanks, actually I've waffled again, I'm still trying to make Play work for a test project on the side. It seems version 1 supported deployment to Tomcat but not 2. If I run Play as the server I guess it's not a big deal though.
