Language War - Scala versus Python (Part 2)

Firstly, this isn't a shoot-out. I apologize if the title feels that way. It's our account on why we chose one(language) over the other looking into various real-life variables, not just web frameworks.

Lift/Play are surely not outdated. I am just stating objective facts that led us to one over the other.

Read both the articles we have posted to get a flavour :)

I was responding to your comment that you had not looked at Play 2.0. I would not argue that it's outdated, I am arguing that if you excluded it from consideration, you missed something.

I agree. We skimmed through and figured it's very new, so didn't explore more.

Technically he missed lots of things - there are hundreds of frameworks.
