Is not only Python. Python is just the first :). I think that PHP and Ruby will be the next ones!

[matelotgeek]

fuck PHP

[babylon2233]

I hope PHP will be supported as soon as possible.

[fedekiller]

Yeh! or Perl =o

[vivacarlie]

did someone mod down all the comments doubting java as the next language?

[mianwo]

Is he nervous or is it just the way he talks?

[mjfan80]

As said from someone else, is strange the first language supported is not Java... GWT and Android, two success framework launched some month ago by google, well acceppetd (i suppose) by the developers, are about Java... so why not support java?

It will be cool to use app engine to develope GWT code!!!

[origenoscuro]

Because Java sucks.

[mjfan80]

and so why GWT and Andorid are for JAVA?

[stevemilnerdotorg]

Well GWT really has mixed reviews developer wise. I personally dislike it as it's a bear to try to deploy and adds enough compile time to applications that use it to be frustrating.

[scorpion032y]

Use python and forget all else. Thats the best to do with G supporting it so well :)

[bitspace]

Which is silly, of course. There is no single language that is best for everything. It's also worth mentioning that this marks Google's first shipped "must use Python" service. A couple other language-specific things that Google has shipped both use Java: Android and GWT.

Having said that, my money is on Java as the next language environment they make available for this service. It's heavily used within Google, and is a no-brainer to get a huge number of web app developers using the service.

[stevemilnerdotorg]

It might be. It's very much the language of the now. If they are really looking for more developers though they did a good job picking one of the two fastest growing languages on the web (python and the other even faster growing language would be ruby). Java has it's places, but in terms of web programming it takes a lot of the fun (and development speed) out of it ... and that is OK, it was not built for that type of development.

[dbauche]

Forget about java. Java's not the future as everybody claims. There's many languages coming out that are attracting very large scales of modern programmers such as Python and Ruby.

[weshoogenboom]

I think Perl was the first language shouted. The second sounded like a cough.

[annkappa]

What are the languages shouted at 7:22 and next?

[09F911029D74E35BD841]

perl, then bliss, felix or lisp?
