I've fallen for Scala, and want to use one of the frameworks that support it.
Lift requires use of Maven or sbt, both of which are annoying tools. I don't want you to force me to download stuff from the net every time I start a project! With most frameworks, I should be able to download a package that I can put on a laptop, disconnect, and build projects in a vacuum. Lift doesn't allow me to do this... also XML :(
- spidaman 16y agoOnce I got up and running with sbt, I really took to it. You only need to be concerned about the net when you add a dependency that you want it to resolve by fetching remotely. If you want alternative web frameworks, I think scalatra looks promising.
- abp 16y agohttp://www.playframework.org/ http://www.playframework.org/ supports Scala too.
- lhnn 16y agoI am looking into it and like its Grails-like setup, but its Scala documentation is outdated and I'm not sure how stable Scala support actually is... I will definitely keep an eye on it, and might even dig into the code a little.
- abp 16y agoYou probably want to have a look at this: http://github.com/guillaumebort/play-scala/blob/master/documentation/manual/home.textile http://github.com/guillaumebort/play-scala/blob/master/docum... Also, when you can life with some Java code that actually isn't very Java like, you can try the normal approach and later enhance with Scala. They use compile time extension and Groovy in views to get a lot of syntactical sugar going on.
