Unlike Compute Engine, it doesn't have Microsoft and Amazon undercutting it on price twice an hour* And it's stuck on Python 2, despite Google (seemingly) being partly a Python shop: https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=909 (I'm wondering when Google will show their hand on that ticket.

Redhat's free openshift gives you perl 5.10 (yes I know but newer than many us use at work) and ssh access. Free with some restrictions.

It's interesting that they closed Perl, but not Ruby, even though Perl had more stars/votes... My guess is that they might try to get JRuby next to the others, or try to get PHP and Go into stable. > Nicholas Clark > > * possible exaggeration >
