Why? The Google "big 3 language" choices are Cpp, Java & python ~ http://panela.blog-city.com/python_at_google_greg_stein__sdforum.htm http://panela.blog-city.com/python_at_google_greg_stein__sdf...
You may see perl or other languages but the "big 3" are the officially supported ones.
"... python ... but it will be a non-starter for many developers. ..."
I find that an interesting statement. Why say that? Python is a pretty easy language to learn & use.

I polled HN about a month ago to see what percentages of HN readers used what languages for web development, and while Python was the most common, its still only used by 22% of those polled. Take this data with a grain of salt, but still an interesting statistic: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pxT7jIffmj3lGdXFcn9hKZw http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pxT7jIffmj3lGdXFcn9hK...
- greendestiny 19y agoIt's not even the choice of python that's a limiting factor, its that you don't have a full server, just a language sandbox. Still it might be a great place to start a web application.
