Why not a Clojure stack ? Is Play itself, or Scala ?

Java.

I didn't do Clojure because I didn't know Java til this year. I last did C++ in 2002, closest language.

But you knew LISP before. Isn't that much more beneficial than knowing Java when doing Clojure?

I'm one of those programmers that can't ignore the implementation language. I don't do 2nd-class languages without understanding their host environment fully.
