Google's execution of App Engine has been sloppy and half-hearted, but the concept makes sense, doesn't it? That said, I'm assuming their JVM is still secure despite being old. Oracle are EOLing their Java 7 JVM, but that doesn't directly affect App Engine unless that's the JVM Google are using. The indirect effects are inexcusable, though. That developers need to stick to an old language to use App Engine while the rest of the world has moved on is ridiculous.
