Hey, thanks for this! I have a few points:

- Everyone seems to think the "other" language is better supported. Python
developers are paranoid that Java support means we are deprecating Python,
and Java developers have an impression that Python gets all the cool
features first. The fact is - neither is true. Keeping parity between
languages is just hard. Some features are developed in Python first, and
some in Java first, and we prefer to ship what we have instead of waiting
for the other to catch up. The biggest discrepancy you'll probably see is
tools: The Python SDK has vacuum_indexes and data migration tools.

- Availability: check out the new HR datastore.

- JRE whitelisting - yeah, every company we've talked to has mentioned this.
Unfortunately, every developer has different requirements. The whitelisting
process is a bit more involved, as there are many security issues that need
to be ironed out. I'd love to see the awt libraries available, personally.

- JDO - we've changed the documentation to show examples using the low-level
API and are working more closely with third-party library developers. We've
realized that there's a passionate community of open source developers out
there solving their own itch (itches that are likely shared by others), and
we're working on different ways of making it happen.

- Blobstore - Expect improvements in this area to be coming.
