FYI,

Looks like a last minute change to the SBT plugins broke 'em for the
1.4.0 release. :( I've patched up master with the fix. I think we
should follow up with a quick 1.4.1 bug fix release in a week or so.

Regards,
Hiram

Agreed, congrats on the release! Any idea on when it'll be pushed to maven central?

James, Hiram, and all,

Congratulations on making releases like clockwork. Great work!

The potential of Scala/Scalate is so great, I look forward to a day
when web apps can be developed without any java/jsp/jsf/spring/etc.
etc.

A couple of things continue to bother me, perhaps you can lay out the
roadmap for me.

James,
Many years back you put out a blog entry on REST and WebApps. That
was one great blog post. What I have been looking forward to since
then is for a framework for building web apps that offers the most
simplicity. Kind of like Scalate + Sinatra. Yes, I know one can
deploy Scalate with Jersey, but that is hardly as simple as Scalate +
Sinatra can be. Essentially what I am asking for is to know if
Scalate will ever be a (stand alone or with minimal support)framework
for building web apps.

When I found Scalate could work with Play Framework, I was much too
excited only to be dashed by the fact that scalate module in Play has
not been actively developed for quite some time. That was a
disappointment. On a similar note, why do you still say on the main
page that Scalate can be used with Play? That paints Scalate in bad
light, knowing that is not really possible.

Thanks and I will stay tuned.
Dinesh

Have you seen Scalatra? It's a Scala port of Sinatra with Scalate
integration: http://github.com/scalatra/scalatra

For something higher level, but still simple, see also Bowler:

Ross,
Thanks for pointing out Scalatra. I was aware of it. Guess I just
need to get off my duff and give it a serious second look :-)

I know Bolwer is your baby. I will try it out as well.

Regards,
Dinesh
