If you mean, "I don't know python and don't intend to, so it's not any
use for me", then fair enough, but at least be honest about it.

(To say it isn't really hosting is absurd: you get space for static
files, python, and a datastore. A more realistic issue is "I'm not
familiar with a typed key=value data model" and/or "it's not MySQL")

I know you're a Perl zealot (also fair enough) but to ding something
for being python really is the pot calling the kettle black. It shows
you probably haven't even looked at Django, which in some significant
areas is way ahead of Catalyst.

And if you think App Engine will only support python, think bigger ;-)
