[Lift] Re: [ANN] Lift 1.0 is released

[Darren Hague]

Stability at last! :-)

Seriously, well done to all the committers and all the great people on
this group that help newbies like me build awesome Lift-based apps.

Major thanks to David, without whom ESME would be merely a poor clone
of Skittr with some SAP stuff on top.

Cheers!

Darren

I just want to re-iterate that I think the team is awesome.
That cannot be said with too much emphasis.

Congratulations! I'm bring Lift to a London listed IT company and
another big financial information company these day. And have written
a prototype for migrating our Erlang-based project (70k LOC) to Lift.
I like what I learned from Lift's code.
