I don't even ask why you want to do that.

That's simple, Play can return Result with ANY content you will give it, so you can just easily use:

return ok("<h1>Code rendered from your alternative engine</h1>").as("text/html");

As per motivation, other template engines may just be more favorable. – matanster Dec 07 '14 at 23:37

It depends on which template engine you want to use. There are a number of options in Play's Module Directory.

Nothing really fancily maintained there in terms of good template engine integrations... – matanster Dec 07 '14 at 23:43
