It doesn't matter how efficient Java is or is not at some arbitrary problem. Do not use Java on GAE. It is not ready for prime time. The instance startup scheduler will make your life hell. Use Python or Go.
I just got done porting all of my Java code to Go and Python. I would have others avoid this mistake I made. However, I am also a connoisseur of schadenfreude. So if you ignore my advice do go with GAE/Java, be sure and post here about your performance problems so I can feed upon your soul. ;) On Monday, March 11, 2013 2:38:02 PM UTC-7, [email protected] wrote: > > Thanks for the reply Jim.
