OK, I *love* GAE getting outa beta and charging. Yup, I *wanna* pay, so that I can get what I'd like.
BUT: the downside is that they haven't offered me what I want. Django templates are fine, as is Python. But on the client side I still have to wrestle with Javascript .. which is also a fine language. So what's my beef? That I gotta use *two* languages. Wimp that I am, I'm sorta getting tired of this. I've written a fairly complicated GAE app, with Google Maps (and lately a few JS libraries), and I still get the two wonderful languages mixed up. So if I'm going to start paying, I want some love. Either: 1 - A Python environment that emits Javascript for the browser (think GWT) .. or 2 - A server-side Javascript solution, like Aptana & Jaxer . After looking at the *huge* advances in Javascript code, I'm tempted to move from 1 to 2. Lively Kernel is really nice, as is the JS version of Processing.org's graphics. But Google, as much as I love ya, you're still in beta. I like your approach much more than Amazon's, and I think your getting there, but you're puzzling a lot of us who see you using GWT for high end apps, but not giving us GAE folks the full Monty. So what's your next move? -- Owen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
