I cannot imagine web frameworks working beyond request/response. About Play - I believe it's trying to go further than Django/Rails. It is powered by Netty, Akka, has async response support, plus Scala FP features. There's also promising ReactiveMongo driver. All these put it at least half way closer to shiny async future. I worked with Node.js too and for me it's more pleasure to write async code in Scala.
