Sometimes when I read articles in the Scala ecosystem I read the term “lifting”https://stackoverflow.com/”lifted”. Unfortunately, it is not explained what that exactly means. I did some research, and it seems that lifting has something to do with functional values or something like that, but I was not able to find a text that explains what lifting actually is about in a beginner friendly way.
There is additional confusion through the Lift framework which has lifting in its name, but it doesn’t help answer the question.
What is “lifting” in Scala?
