| Abstract: |
The article offers informational background on Scala, a programming language, and Lift, a development framework for the Web. It discusses the nature, message-passing concurrency model, and features of Scala. It notes that Scala is developed by Martin Odersky, one of the authors of the Java program, and has a lightweight, expressive, and concise syntax. Features of the Scala program includes extensibility, statically checked duck typing via structural typing, and higher-order functions among others. Discussions on the Web framework Lift and the way its uses actors as architectural units are also featured. |
