Hopefully I'll be able to start helping back in the future as I get more experienced with Lift. We've found Lift to be a great tool, and being able to get help from the community has really helped, saved us hours of crawling around in the dark :) We just launched our site yesterday, running on Lift:http://snapsort.com. Today its just got one feature: you can compare two digital cameras to see the differences. Our plan is to do personalized product recommendation, similar to a real-time personalized consumer reports. - Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

Jorge, this would be great. I'd really appreciate anything you do in this area.

One of the things that has impressed me is the community spirit of the group. I've had pretty much all my questions answered and problems fixed very quickly. This gave me confidence to push the adoption of the framework. I haven't always agreed with some of the design decisions in Lift, but that's true of any framework. I bet even a framework founder doesn't like everything about it. Anyway sometimes programmers have to agree to disagree. I think you're totally right about this. Lift will continue to grow because people will always find a better way and I expect that Lift will adapt to those better ways. I now find myself in the position of having to consider Slinky as an alternative to Lift. Slinky is a pretty nice framework in terms of its purity. It really does reduce the request/response cycle to a functional transformation in a way that's much more pure than what Lift does. For CRUD-style apps where state is in the database, I think Slinky might be a good choice. On the other hand, for stuff that requires more state, especially state that's outside of the database, I'm not sure that Slinky has the right models. For example, I'm not sure how to model server push (the chat app, the clock app) in Slinky. If you wind up doing a project in Slinky, I'd be very interested if you could let us know 2 or 3 great concepts in Slinky that we can adopt in Lift.

Hi Josh, thanks for the positive and constructive feedback! It's people like you that fuel the work of the Lift committers.

I began using it (to be honest) because I have to interface with EJBs and Lift has much better maven-support than Grails, and I wanted a language that had some power (i.e. not Java). I'm now more than happy with the choice of Lift. Lift really is *not* just another Rails. I'm amazed at how different and consistent the paradigm is! (I had heard similar things about Wicket).
