> How long til we get CFML on there?

My guess - and as a Google App Engine developer and Google Enterprise
partner, I like to think it's an educated guess - is never. There are
a couple of reasons for this. First, it's largely proprietary. Second,
it's not used by Google itself for anything else, as Python and Java
are. Third, many of the things that are nice about CF simply wouldn't
apply in App Engine. For example, you don't have relational databases
as such in App Engine.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if App Engine never expands beyond
those two languages.

But, as Gerald mentions, App Engine isn't the only game in town when
it comes to cloud computing platforms. The other big player is Amazon,
and you can host any app server you like on EC2. There's even a
community of vendors making this process even easier, like Stax.
