Wow, reputable source. A friend of a friend's twitter post says a friend heard that it was true!

His twitter history seems to indicate he's at Graphing Social Patterns East, where Google presented on AppEngine.

(I went through Google's slides for that presentation and they make no mention of supporting more languages.)

Make of that what you will.

Hey, beats Techcrunch! ;)

I've been enjoying the quality of news posts on Hacker News, but this link is lame. Generally speaking, I'd like a little context, maybe some informed opinion, or a first-hand account of some session being held somewhere, not someone's twitter post.

Would love to see some official word on this. The languages are certainly ranked high on the bug tracker:

The one thing that will be interested to see: will they require those languages use a framework like the current iteration of AppEngine?

You can use whatever framework you want, not just webPy. I am using Django.

Thanks google!

PHP is awesome.
