Verb. lift, raise, rear, elevate, hoist, heave, boost mean to move from a lower to a higher place or position. lift usually implies exerting effort to overcome resistance of weight. lift the chair while I vacuum raise carries a stronger implication of bringing up to the vertical or to a high position.
Some common synonyms of lift are boost, elevate, heave, hoist, raise, and rear. While all these words mean "to move from a lower to a higher place or position," lift usually implies exerting effort to overcome resistance of weight.
lift verb (UP)She lifted the baby up and put him in his chair. He lifted his glass to his lips. You're not supposed to lift heavy weights after an operation. Bend your knees when lifting heavy objects.
Lifts can be essential for providing vertical circulation, particularly in tall buildings, for wheelchair and other non-ambulant building users and for the vertical transportation of goods. Some lifts may also be used for firefighting and evacuation purposes.
There are really a myriad of differences between Rails and Lift. Lift was constructed by DPP as a reaction against Rails, so do not be surprised if you find a lot of differences:
Security: This is the biggest difference. Lift is probably the framework that focus the most on security. Lift is very secure out of the box. It can't handle every threat, but more than any other framework I know of.
Performance: Since Scala is statically typed (just as @Vadim said) and runs on the JVM, Lift runs faster (taken that everything else is equal). The JVM gives you extreme performance nowadays..
Not MVC: Lift is not an MVC framework.
Lastly I want to redirect you to this thread about comparing Lift: For my next project, a web-app, should use scala+wicket or scala+lift?

Django has a greater community and more third-party extensions (so-called apps). Lift application will be faster (because of static nature of Scala and JVM) other things being equal.
