I agree. And I'd add that the continuous compilation of the Play framework allows for a great, fast workflow. Even in combination with non-JVM compilation like for Typescript.

The last version comes with Slick integration which brings Ling-for-Sql style persistency to the JVM. In combination with support for Postgress JSON persistency that makes for a great fast prototyping stack.

I highly, highly recommend squeryl over slick. Much more readable as you're basically writing SQL in scala; you don't have to translate constantly between orm methods and SQL.

Agreed. Squeryl provides a really easy and intuitive API for querying and updating data. Slick seems to be less easy to use.

I second Squeryl over slick.Had a very nice experience.

+1 for Squeryl!!!
