App Engine runs your Java web application using a Java 6
JVM in a safe "sandboxed" environemnt. App Engine invokes
your app's servlet classes to handle requests and prepare
responses in this environment.

people working on appengine really want java?
After more than 8 years of coding in Java, I had to pick up Python (and Django) so as to start using GAE for my startup.
Now, looking at those sample code in Java (and JSP) and the related XML configurations for GAE, I don't think I want to go back to Java - unless I am paid to do so, say for services.

How do you define troll? A blanket statement labelling an entire technology with a pejorative without any justification or explanation seems fairly trollish to me.
However both of us are certainly off-topic and should be downvoted heavily :-)
Plus PHP (via Quercus) would convert a lot of developers.
Edit: looks like it should!

Why was this downmodded so much? I don't get it. Wanting to have native PHP support seems like a perfectly reasonable wish.

And, why use TinyURL here? Your destination URL isn't long; there's no constraining limit to comment URL sizes.
Does anyone know is this is possible?
Unfortunately, there's still very poor support for HTTPS. The limited HTTPS support is what keeps me from deploying any applications on it.
I went back to the front page console and there was a link at the top of the page.

The parent post is neither a troll, spam, or off-topic, and thus should not be downvoted.
A simple "no upvote" would suffice. If you disagree add a substantive rebuttal to your "no upvote".

Java is orders of magnitude easier to scale.
And besides, there are many people with investments in Java already. I think this is a pretty good choice.
Now, if they also added Mono (.NET) that would be great.
