I have been working with the gae beta.  I have not had time to fix the actor related issues (and am very pissed that google is reporting jdbc dependencies because mapper is not required for Lift apps and they did bother to contact me before posting, despite that I'm part of the beta... there... it's off my chest.) 

I'll get code checked up next week that makes core Lift work with gae (without comet support).

Thanks,

David

Hi,

We made some experiments with Lift and Scala (I'm sure it will be blogged soon).
The consensus was that Lift doesn't really work at all - the Thread restrictions are just too hard.

You can definitely use Scala, though, and it runs without trouble as long as you stay away from the things that need Thread or ThreadGroup.

Cheers
