Hi friends, As you might have heard, Google has released support for Java on App Engine. I’ve been part of a preview, and know that JRuby, Ruby on Rails and Merb works very well on it. More information here: [http://olabini.com/blog/2009/04/java-on-google-app-engine/](http://olabini.com/blog/2009/04/java-on-google-app-engine/) [http://olabini.com/blog/2009/04/dynamic-languages-on-google-app-engine-an-overview/](http://olabini.com/blog/2009/04/dynamic-languages-on-google-app-engine-an-overview/) [http://olabini.com/blog/2009/04/jruby-on-rails-on-google-app-engine/](http://olabini.com/blog/2009/04/jruby-on-rails-on-google-app-engine/) Cheers – Ola B.

Cool, so it sounds like Rails, Merb, Sinatra, Ramaze, and Tom Enebo’s “Ruvlets” have all been successfully deployed. There’s a project in progress to make GAE deployment as simple as possible…stay tuned! - Charlie ---

And if anyone doubts the power of IRC, I got amazing help from folks on #jruby and #ramaze on freenode while getting Ramaze running on GAE. It’s a 24-hour hackfest. – James B.
