Google says Java, Ruby, and PHP are coming for AppEngine (twitter.com) 8 points by jorgeortiz85 18y ago ↗ HN
[–] jrockway 18y ago ↗ Wow, reputable source. A friend of a friend's twitter post says a friend heard that it was true! [–] jorgeortiz85 18y ago ↗ His twitter history seems to indicate he's at Graphing Social Patterns East, where Google presented on AppEngine.(I went through Google's slides for that presentation and they make no mention of supporting more languages.)Make of that what you will. [–] nir 18y ago ↗ Hey, beats Techcrunch! ;)

[–] bprater 18y ago ↗ Would love to see some official word on this. The languages are certainly ranked high on the bug tracker:http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list
[–] bprater 18y ago ↗ The one thing that will be interested to see: will they require those languages use a framework like the current iteration of AppEngine? [–] ovi256 18y ago ↗ You can use whatever framework you want, not just webPy. I am using Django.
[–] butterfi 18y ago ↗ I've been enjoying the quality of news posts on Hacker News, but this link is lame. Generally speaking, I'd like a little context, maybe some informed opinion, or a first-hand account of some session being held somewhere, not someone's twitter post.
