No, we didn't have any experience with Scala/Lift/Play. We were aware of the learning curve of scala. But what we thought was in the the best interest of project. I've read about the problems ingoing with Scala, but the benefits outweigh the problems most of the times. And yes, learning a new technology will definitely slow down the development (especially Scala).
