Lift is a web application framework designed for Scala Programming Language. It was designed by David Polka who was dissatisfied with Ruby on Rails. It was launched on February 26, in 2007 as an Open Source framework under the Apache 2.0 License.
Background
Scala
Scala stands for "Scalable Language". The Scala programming language can be used for making general software application, or for web development. Scala is a pure-bred object-oriented language: Every value is an object, and every operation is a method call. The language is quite similar to Ruby
The biggest difference between Ruby and Scala is that, Scala runs on the Java Virtual Machine. Thus, it is possible to mix up Java and Scala. Both the languages can be used together for a single project; Scala code can refer the Java code and Java code can refer Scala code without any errors turning up.
