The rails community is a significant detractor to adoption even among young hip kids. . .

As a reality check here, I saw several people at SnapCamp use up more than half of the first day just trying to get a Lift hello world running in their development environment, never mind understanding the basics of the framework. People at work had been writing lift code for a couple months and were still uncertain about when to use stateful snippets, session vars, request vars, or just setting vars from closures. I'm not going to claim to have any empirical comparisons to rails, but my recollection from the 5 year old rails book was that it made it pretty obvious where things went and how to do things. Enabling people who are interested in decent documentation to fix minor issues that have been repeatedly identified is a far cry from overpromoting too early or acting like rock stars. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
