"So I ask all of you, why not Java for web development? What's wrong with Play?"
There is nothing wrong with using Java for web development. There are loads of people using Java for web development. Otherwise nobody would have bothered building things like Groovy and Grails, Jruby or Play.
"I read stories every day saying there is a lack of Ruby and Python developers. Yet, there are tons of great developers who are being taught Java and could pick up Play as easy as I have."
Tons of Java developers just sitting around looking for a job? The problem isn't a lack of X developers. It's a lack of AVAILABLE x developers to be picked up.
