It seems that Google App Engine and GWT is focused on Java. Will Google ever be using Node.js/Javascript on server/client side instead of abstracting it away with Java? Then we don't need a Java interpreter, and they can focus 100% on their V8 engine. |

I think the point is that during development, Google programmers like to use tools like Eclipse that use static typing to allow sound refactoring and easy code navigation. And although V8 is impressive, Java still offers generally better performance and features such as low level access to e.g. memory mapped files, binary network protocols, etc. |

Have you checked AppengineJS? http://www.appenginejs.org/ It isn't node.js based, but a port fo the Python SDK to Ringo (and a little legacy from another libraries). Very promising! |
