Very cool! When I first saw this I thought it was going to be about Lift developers being able to use ruby code- there are a lot of Ruby packages out there that they could benefit from using.
Just from looking at Scala, it seems like a superior language, and from looking at Lift it seems like a well done web framework. However, a lot of the benefit of Rails comes from the ecosystem where there is a plugin for your every need. I doubt that Lift can offer enough benefits to offset that.
Maybe they can use this for their pattern matching:

- LiveTheDream 16y agoInteresting that you say Lift developers could benefit from Ruby packages; generally a big pro for Lift/Scala is access the the multitude of Java packages. JRuby, Scala, Clojure and other JVM languages all benefit from that ecosystem.
