The Lift Web Framework provides an advanced set of tools for quickly and easily building real-time, multi-users, interactive web applications.

Scala is a hybrid Object Oriented and Functional language that runs at native speeds on the JVM and fully interoperates with Java code. Lift is a hybrid web framework built on Scala. Lift derives its features and idioms from the best of existing web frameworks as well as the functional and OO features in Scala.
