  • aragorn83, on 04/10/2008, -0/+0I think that other languages will be added for sure. They will make this a free service with limitations, but will also give paid service upgrades. So, more developers you will attract, more chances are that someone will pay for more.
    Also, I've read somewhere that GAE infrastructure is language neutral, so support for many languages is by design.

    Egoistically maybe, I say that Java/Groovy/Grails should come first, because they have no real free hosting service, where ruby/RoR/PHP/Perl have plenty, and also because this would make GAE fully usable with GWT (right now you can use GWT for the presentation, and Python for the server side).
  • dima767, on 04/10/2008, -0/+0I believe the reason is that Python is the number 1 language for internal development at Google. Hopefully other languages/platforms will catch up.
  • christai, on 04/10/2008, -0/+0I'm actually surprised Java wasn't the first language for support on the Google App engine, especially since the Java development community is quite large.
  • dtwhitney, on 04/10/2008, -0/+0I have no problem with Python, but the developer community for Java is so large and application deployment is such no brainer, that I think Google App Engine has a lot to gain/offer by adopting Java.... and by adopting Java, they'll implicitly be adopting my favorite framework: Grails
