## Notes

Cask is a Scala web framework that its homepage describes as inspired by Python's Flask. It is added to a Scala project as a library from Maven Central, with coordinates given for Mill and sbt, and it makes it easy to set up a website, backend server or REST API. The MIT license names Li Haoyi as the copyright holder.

## Worth knowing

The homepage's virtual-thread section gives a Java requirement for running Cask with virtual threads, and no general minimum Java version is stated.
