Google App Engine supports only the languages that Google chooses to support. It isn't a virtualized environment the way that Amazon EC2 is. There's no VM that you can access. Google has to implement support for new languages directly in the App Engine distributed runtime, so adding any language is definitely a non-trivial factor. Again, I strongly doubt that Google will choose to support CFML for the reasons I listed earlier. Google App Engine is fundamentally different from Amazon EC2 in how it works. EC2 is a virtualized server environment; you can run ANYTHING in it by building a server image with whatever you like. App Engine runs within the same distributed runtime space as Google Apps, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
