• 3 Top Free and Open Source Scala Web Micro-Frameworks - LinuxLinks

  A web framework offers the developer a choice about how to solve a specific problem. By using a framework, a developer lets the framework control portions of their application. While it’s perfectly possible to code a web application without using a framework, it’s more practical to use one.

  Scala is a modern, object-functional, multi-paradigm, Java-based programming and scripting language. It blends functional and object-oriented programming models. Scala introduces several innovative language constructs. It improves on Java’s support for object-oriented programming by traits, which are stackable and cannot have constructor parameters. It also offers closures, a feature that dynamic languages like Python and Ruby have adopted.

  Here’s our verdict on the best free and open source Scala web micro-frameworks.
