We're using Scalatra for our company's http service, and it's been great. Simple, good documentation, works exactly as promised, and the irc room (thanks Ross Baker!) has been extremely helpful.

If you use Scalatra for a major project, though, be ready to learn at least a bit about Jetty (or Tomcat or...). Scalatra is a great tool for writing Java servlets, but you're ultimately running those servlets in a much more complicated servlet container.

That's unfortunate. The last time I made a pet web application in Scala it was using the Lift framework. The greatest pain points by far came from integrating with all the Java infrastructure, including Jetty. I hope someday someone figures out a good abstraction layer for some of these Java services to simplify their use, but as I'm unfamiliar with the needs of those who are actually deploying web servers, I don't even know if this is possible or feasible.
