I prefer the GAE approach of obfuscation. I write code, I don't optimize the OS. (not me personally but as a company) that has a lot of advantages of a VM solution where if you have to test your own performance changes based on the stack the drivers, and such. I want it to be like my old commodore 64. Solid state and the OS is the Language I run. Only I want the solid state to be owned by someone else, obfuscated, locked in a vault, and never have to know where it lives, what it looks like, or how many kittens were sacrificed to pagan gods to make it impervious to catastrophic failure.

It remains to be seen what their impact will be, but I wonder if in a few years' time GAE will rue the missed chances. Only time will tell. saidimu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
