    You get to use C# which really is rather a pleasant language and is a huge win over PHP. The Web.config has been shrunk a huge amount in recent versions of .Net as more sensible defaults for the new frameworks get built in.

    Lift is hands-down the best web framework available today... Can someone a little less involved please comment on the validity of this and the claims that follow it? Is it something I should be checking out?

    I recently started learning and it's quite a shock to the system coming from certain other main stream environments. I found the best route for me was Emacs, the Emacs Starter Kit and Leiningen. Everything is evolving so quickly that I didn
