- smharris65 18y agoI would be interested in the memory limitations Google would impose. Java pretty much requires lots at startup. Would Google charge for more memory?
- mikedouglas 18y agoGoogle has a few Java properties. I'd be really surprised if they hadn't already solved this.
- briansmith 18y agoDoes a Java web app really require more memory compared to Python web app?
- bprater 18y agoIs it a surprising choice? Do you think they would have been better off targeting more hackerly type language, since companies aren't going to be too quick in moving to AppEngine in the early term?
- icey 18y agoIf this happens, what is the likelihood of any of the JVM languages working there as well? (I haven't used GAE, so I have no idea how it is with libraries.) It'd be fun to have Jython, JRuby, Groovy, Clojure, etc on GAE.
- lsb 18y agoJust like Google Code was aimed, tangentially at least, at reducing the number of software licenses, it'd be a major coup for GOOG to establish a VM for languages big and small.
- nl 18y agoIt's not exactly news. A Googler accidentally mentioned this at their dev. conference in India last year. The "other language" (which has been in the AppEngine roadmap for a long time) was always going to be either Java or Javascript, but all the bets were on Java
