I chose Scala/Play framework for the same reasons. Java might be awful, but the JVM is a beast.

>Though my tip though for the long term replacement of javac is Scala. I'm very impressed with it! I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming in Scala book by by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon & Bill Venners back in 2003 I'd probably have never created Groovy. -James Strachan

Play or Lift?
