If you look at the go docs it looks like it only supports sync ops on urlfetch/datastore/etc. However when one of these ops is started then other goroutines start running. And the goroutines can send messages to each other. So go provides the only language-native async system for gae. Rob Pike claims that this is a good way to think about async operations. There isn't much CPU involved usually, so the restriction to 1 thread is really irrelevant most of the time.
However you'd need to be very brave to go for go when we haven't even seen a draft of how they plan to do transactions and channels. Or have we? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group. To post to this group, send email to google-appengine@googlegroups.com.
