Me neither, at least in the near future, but while startups get a lot of press it will never be the majority of people who will work there. But startups have to pick the best tools for the job to get something going, fast. For some (myself included) this meant Scala/Lift. But the choice of implementation platform/language is seldom the cause of startup failure.....but I guess that's for another forum :-) /Jeppe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
