Google AppEngine Java Support Launches

I wonder if it will run all Java bytecode. Scala and Clojure would be great.

Plus PHP (via Quercus) would convert a lot of developers.

Edit: looks like it should!

  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.

I'd much rather have native PHP support than have to run PHP through an unnecessary layer of Java. Thanks but no thanks.

I never do this but...

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

Microsoft's Azure has support for native PHP with FastCGI.
