[Lift] Looks like a startup, udorse, is using Lift
http://udorse.com/about/jobs udorse is apparently hiring Scala/Lift people. Since one opening states Experience with Scala and the Lift framework strongly preferred, I would think either they're using Lift or they plan to in the near future. (I am not affiliated with udorse in any way, just noticed this and wanted to pass it on here.)

[Lift] Re: What a difference a CPU makes
I've wanted to try a solid-state disk for a while. All but the cheapest systems you can buy these days are Core 2 Duo with 2+ GB of decently fast RAM (i.e. you can get a decent dual-core laptop with 2 GB of RAM that will run Ubuntu like a champ for ~$500). It seems like the real way to boost performance on a machine like that is to get a much faster disk.

[Lift] Re: 2.7.3-RC2 looks good to me
Hooray. Bugs that essentially cripple Lift are bad. Um. Slightly OT: when is the Scala release cycle so slow? They need to stop working on the core language and focus on the stuff they've been neglecting: standard library docs and IDE plugins. Scala is lightyears ahead of just about every other programming language except other space-age languages like Haskell. I'm sick of Netbeans freezing up and not finding any examples in documentation.

On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 5:50 PM, efleming969 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: but it seems high risk for my client to have an application built with newer and practically unknown technologies like these. I'm kind of a Lift outsider but this isn't all that Lift-specific in my view, it's a more general concern about using new technology that hasn't gained much traction yet, which is something I have experience with. I think I understand where you're coming from. It's always scary to venture into the unknown. Using new technologies, you can feel as if very quickly after hello world you hit a dirt road and you're on your own to work things out. However: 1. If you think about it, in a typical web application, the web framework will only be a small part. The rest (the application server, database, DNS server, load balancers, spam filters, ...) are still the same. I for one think your choice of relational database, for instance, is of far greater consequence than the web framework(s) you choose. 2. David Pollak is one of the most experienced, intelligent guys in the industry. He is ideally suited to the task of writing a web framework. As I see it, Lift takes proven infrastructure and integrates it using ideas derived from years and years of hard-won, real-world experience. Also, doesn't a good test suite help things a lot? If Lift doesn't work the way it ought to, your tests should be able to expose that in a meaningful way. From your perspective, at the present time probably the biggest thing to be aware of is that the Lift API is not finalized and breaking changes happen more often than they do with mature projects.
