SCALA Vs ROR

[Sreejumon KP]

Hello Friends,

Anyone worked on both Scala and Ruby, If yes how do you compare them ?  Any experience to share those apps deployment on Google App Engine?

Hi Sreejumon,
    I may be wrong about this since I haven't looked at GAE of late but my understanding is that GAE supports only Python (and that also only upto version 2.5) and Java. I don't think Ruby is supported on Google App Engine.  Scala being a language built on top of the Java VM might be a better bet than RoR if deployment to GAE is your goal.

Thanks and Regards

Actually, there are Lift applications being run on GAE. The thing is,
if you are planning to use actors and such threading related stuff (
especially Lift framework ) then you might run into troubles over GAE.

thats a good discussion to read up

NotAQuote - Carmack _and_ Zawinski says sharing code is badass. I agree.

I decided to go with web2py ;)

I was wondering - since java works, JRuby should also work :-? So I
did a quick google - look what i found :

Hi Sreejumon,

Saw this on Reddit - though you might be interested. http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/eps76/web2py_1911_is_out_the_license_has_changed_to/
