Google Developers Day -> Java App Engine. Time line? Hype?

[pr3d4t0r]

Greetings.

According to this blogger:
http://www.controlenter.in/2008/10/java-support-to-appengine-to-counter-microsofts-cloud-initiatives-microsoft-strata/

App Engine will introduce Java support soon. Are these announcements
by Google's Prasad Ram true? Is there additional information
available somewhere? The only substantive announcement regarding App
Engine that I could find recently was the support for HTTPS.

Google crew... what's the scoop? Can you guys talk about it yet? Is
this only hype?

Thanks and cheers,

Will we find out more along with the release of the Android SDK?

Looking forward to finding out more!

There has been recent discussion in the blogosphere about the
potential support of Java in App Engine. While we don't have any
immediate plans or announcements, we are working on other languages
for App Engine. Security and performance are our primary concerns with
any new language runtime and getting it right takes time. We don't
have any dates for you today but be assured that you will be the first
to know when we have a release date for a new language for App
Engine.

Thank you for all your support, we are encouraged by the excitement
and interest we see in this discussion.

Given amount of work required, it will be more like J4GAE :)

Thanks for the clarification, Paul!

We all look forward to new App Engine releases that support other
languages.

I hope it will not be too alien from standard Java, and that useful
existing libraries will work on the platform with not too much pain.
Anyway, I believe that fundamental libraries will be ported readily to
the GAE platform.

I really hope that Groovy at least, and Grails maybe, will find their
way on GAE, because lack of availability of free/cheap web host is a
major drawback for widespread usage of those language/framework.

Anyways, even a sort-of-java would be really, really appreciated.

Cheers

No, I think I mean last week, when Azure was announced at PDC, when it was still October.

Let's hope this "one week ago" will came soon :)
