Google App Engine is available for Java developers

I'm sure that you've heard the news by now, but I couldn't let it pass without a comment. Hooray!

I am a Java developer. That is to say, Java is the language I have done most of my development in over the past 10 years. But my interest lately has been less in Java actual and more in the JVM and all the Groovy new languages you can get to run on it.

That's why I'm particularly excited that the App Engine will support such alternate languages. I was lucky enough be get in on the developer preview, so you can expect to see me posting more on this topic in the new few weeks.

Stay tuned.
