I am always curious how google builts its webapp. Now that we have GAE, we have an opportunity to build and scale good webapps.
The logic, we still believe can remain in JS, and when the user performs an action like save, it is stored using python. This is the way we do it today in PHP. Just wanted to know if its the best way to do it.
