Google App Engine Blog: Seriously this time, the new language on App Engine: Java™

Owen Densmore

Cool!  Google App Engine is extending their service beyond the current  
Python support to include Java and all the JVM languages like Jython,  
JRuby, Groovy and so on.
   http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2009/04/seriously-this-time-new-language-on-app.html

We knew that Google uses Java for a lot of their services, and GWT  
(Google Web Toolkit) even provides Java-to-Javascript translation,  
letting the programmer use a single language for both client (browser)  
and server.  But we were also frustrated that this was not available  
on GAE, and were uncertain just where Google was heading.

Now its a bit clearer.
