Here is what the app looks like after thread safe actually started working.
The non-interger numbers is amusing to me.

Subject: [google-appengine] Re: Java Vs Python Foot Race + Instances Not
Dying

 

 

When I first looked at GAE a year ago, it really looked like Python was the
preferred / "native" API, I seem to recall there being features that were
some features available in Python but "not yet in the Java API", and in fact
that was major part of the appeal.

 

A non-standard proprietary database and API was not ideal, and as a longtime
Perl hacker I wasn't overly keen on python, but GAE seemed to offer some
useful value-add features over a plain LAMP stack, and at least I wasn't
being forced into some "enterprise framework" (/shudder/ - I've seen the
mess these things are used to build). 

 

If it turns out that python was more of a stopgap, and GAE is starting to
quack like a yet-another-java-framework, then I'll simply reverse my port
back to a LAMP stack or similar. It'll be with some regret, but there you
go.

 

I know Google have been building a lot of internal systems on GAE (and Ben
Fried is a very smart bloke), but it does make me wonder if this has skewed
their view of the product over time - it's quite a common danger with
dogfooding your own product (you end up building the specific product you
want, not necessarily the one the clients want).
