I couldn't agree more:
I love Scala, but it's a shame about Lift...
If you're looking for alternatives or just something new, try Scala
with WebObjects instead.
This should get you started:
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/WebObjects+with
+Scala
IMHO Scala is to Java what Objective-C was to C.
My first impressions of Scala is akin to what i felt about Objective-
C when i first discovered it 15 yrs ago...
interesting...
For most developers i suspect that a sore-point of using WebObjects
nowadays is...Java.
So maybe you need to look at Java-alternatives not WO-alternatives :)
Yeah, Java is certainly one point of consideration for its lack of
dynamism. Certainly utilising Groovy or Scala could help here.
But honestly I believe the major sore point (if there be one amongst
the surveys) is the waiting for news about 5.5 and/or 5.6's arrival
(which is all probably under NDA for you guys who were at WOWODC) ...
and for that matter Giandiua ;).
