So I went to the last half of Scala Lift Off on Saturday (only half, because the first half was taken up by my final MBA class. Ever.). I went primarily out of curiosity, not knowing much about Scala or Lift. The main draw was the built in comet support for Lift, which seems to not be a focus in other frameworks... at least not for Rails. We currently use Juggernaut for comet support, but depending on flash is something of a liability (see: iPhone), and Juggernaut itself isn't as smoothly integrated with Rails as i'd like.

Interesting to read about this authors first impressions of Scala & Lift. I have to quibble with one point: The author writes that Scala is unheralded. He must not listen to the Java Posse much. For the past year, it seems that this guiding star of the Java universe has constantly talked about Scala as the most serious candidate as the general purpose successor to Java on the JVM. This is one of the recuring themes of the show over the past year. Check out episode 182 where a round table of Java developers are discusing whether to evolve Java to the point where it can compete with the likes of C# and Scala and Ruby, or whether to abandon Java in favor of Scala.
