Is it possible to develop a Google App Engine web app using Node.js or some other server side JavaScript approach?

Node. Js uses an event-loop model which is not really a good fit with the current App Engine design.

Node. Js uses an event-loop model which is not really a good fit with the current App Engine design. However, there are several projects that bring JavaScript to App Engine.

Check out App Engine issue 35 to read about some of the solutions. The highlights are: Rhino, Rhino For Webapps, if you like Python check out AppengineJS. I have also heard that RingoJS might be worth looking into.

1 Good answer, Robert. I would just add that AppEngine Issue #35 (code.google. Com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?

Id=35) is chock-a-block with lustful palpitations over and beseechments to Google to implement V8 runtine/Node. JS for AppEngine. Priority is 'Medium'.

I don't know about Google, but where I work, a priority of Medium means, "You request is acknowledged and will be ignored. " It bears noting that none of the comments on the issue address Robert's excellent point that there is an impedance mismatch between Node. Js's event loop and AppEngine's request-orientation.

Tornado can run on app engine and is similar to node. Js but using python, and has a nice yield approach too. But there are limitations with tornado's use on app engine that might defeat the object of using it for your project.

See tornado on github for more info I use both but node. Js with connect middelware and express. Js to make node easier to use for simple web apps.

Also you might want to check out ApeJS. A little framework I wrote similar to AppengineJS but more minimalist. lmatteis.github.com/apejs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
