I am trying out Lift. It's not easy, has a lot of new concepts, but I'm finding it a refreshing experience. It deviates from the MVC pattern that we are so used to. I chose it for its Comet support, I'm building a real time application that will use it heavily. I've also integrated Akka (remote actors), so far this is a simple app but I can already see the possibilities of the architecture, it seems so advanced and powerful and yet simple and lean at the same time.
The funny thing is that I would be considered your average corporate senior developer (I'm not a rock star publishing books or keynoting conferences, just doing my job with a passion) and 4 months ago I didn't know how to do a Hello World in Scala. Now I am thinking how to code more and more in this language and leave Java behind, and having a lot of fun in this transition process. So to those that say it's a hard language, it certainly can be, but you can pick the pieces that make sense for you and build from that, at least that has been my experience. It's all Dick Wall's fault actually, his passion eventually made me curious to take a look at it. Back to Lift, there are a few good online resources (i.e. http://exploring.liftweb.net/) and I ended up buying Lift In Action which is almost final and will be released to print soon as far as I know. I'm finding it OK. I haven't played with Play, but would be curious to hear what others with more experience have to say about it and how it compares to Lift. -- Juan Marín Otero GIS Consultant -------Visita mi blog en--------------------- http://guachintoneando.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------------- On Sun, Aug 14, 2011 at 8:03 PM, ryan <[email protected]> wrote: > I am trying to learn Scala..
