Last night I created a new Ruby-on-Rails project and got a subversion repository set up for it so that I could hack away on my 'fun project' whenever I had a few minutes. This morning I read about a programming language called Scala that compiles down to Java bytecode and an accompanying web framework called lift that is like Rails but performs 6x faster and is multi-threaded.

I'm greatly disappointed. How's a guy supposed to get into something new if every time he turns around there's something even cooler out there?

For now I'll stay focused on RoR since I don't have a hosting provider that lets me run a JVM, but Scala + Lift looks really cool.

    I'm wicked sorry to disappoint. :-) Looking forward to your use of lift and any feedback you've got about it.
