15 seconds to code.
3 seconds to read and understand.
Easy to read = self documenting.
Less LOC = better codebase and more agile team.

Play 2.1 with Scala 2.10 and Jasmine sbt package, with auto-recompilation of LESS (including bootstrap), Jenkins build info, with coffeescript recompilation on (for sources and for specs in coffeescript). Sugar to taste.
