    <ol> <li><p>I'm currently doing most of my things in Scala right now. (I should mention that I think that Scala is the best thing since the invention of the wheel some time ago. :-D )</p> <p>In my humble opinion it is the only language which truly allows people to choose the best approach to a task without some unnecessary divide between (more) object-oriented and (more) functional approaches.</p> <p>Looking at the languages which claimed something like this before, I can basically see two competing language design camps:</p> <ul> <li><p>The ones from the object-oriented side which saw that functional programming gained some traction lately and thought "Well, we don't really understand that functional thingie, but let's add some fancy syntactical sugar to our language, so we can claim it is functional too!" <em>(examples: Java, Python)</em></p></li> <li><p>Then the ones from the functional side, who thought "Well, our functional approach is far superior to anything else and that object-oriented nonsense is annoying, but let's put some additional keywords into our language, that will make our language escape academia for sure!" <em>(examples: F#, OCaml)</em></p></li> </ul> <p>Scala's designers unified many approaches coming from both sides and created some well-designed language, which is - in my humble opinion - the biggest difference to other languages, which decided to take the "Frankenstein" approach to programming language design.</p></li> <li><p>Having done only smaller things with Lift yet and only superficial experience with Rails and Django, I have to admit that most of the time when I wondered why something in Lift worked differently from what I expected, this was due to the fact that my expectations were flawed and Lift's approach superior.</p> <p>Lift is certainly no "easy introduction to Scala" but learning how Lift works was almost as rewarding as learning Scala before it.</p> <p>The ability to have a "clean" view without any logic in it is a great improvement to other frameworks which claimed the same, but fell short of it. Scala's XML literal support makes it possible to verify the well-formedness of your response: The compiler will prove at compile time that you only emit well-formed XML to a client.</p></li> <li><p>Lift is viable technology and at the moment the only real approach if you want to build web applications which look, feel and behave like "real" desktop applications without writing insane amounts of code yourself.</p></li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
