Go for Google App Engine

The Go and App Engine teams announced that the Go runtime for App Engine is now generally available.

Developer can write, test Go app and deploy it to App Engine right now with the new 1.5.2 SDK.

It comes with a new addition, tools to build applications written with Go and to run them on GAE(Google App Engine). Go is Google’s pet language that resembles C but adds features such as dynamic typing, reflection, garbage collection, concurrency and parallelism.


GAE Go environment is still experimental, so it is wise not to start writing commercial applications yet.

Facebook apps in Python using App Engine

Most guys used PHP for all the facebook applications. We can use Python to develop a facebook app.

There is already a sample application in facebook that uses Python and most interestingly Google app engine! The application is named 'Run With Friends'. Though I have seen this page before but never looked at it closely. So, I think this page is the right place to get started creating facebook app in Python and GAE: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/samples/canvas/.
