I would definitely encourage anyone who is thinking about commenting on this post to at least read back through the comments, see comment 46 for instance regarding appenginejs (http://www.appenginejs.org http://www.appenginejs.org) and from my own investigation's I can confirm that ringojs (http://ringojs.org/ http://ringojs.org/) offers some great support for AppEngine right now: https://github.com/ringo/ringojs/tree/master/apps/appengine https://github.com/ringo/ringojs/tree/master/apps/appengine I'll write a blog post on how to make it all work at some stage, but it really isn't that hard. Please stop commenting on this thread which is "please add Javascript" when really what you want is node.js and a V8 runtime. Scalable server side Javascript on AppEngine is available now, so get out and try it
