Both, but Java for anything vaguely complicated. I'm currently rewriting a
non-GAE app we developed in Python/Django/jQuery to Java as we speak,
mainly because I like removing entire classes of bug from my future.
Don't Python apps have lower memory footprints on GAE? Wouldn't that mean

Why?
Far more efficient development cycle.
Will python ever be as efficient in multi threading as java?
Certainly in the ways that matter for the kinds of apps you write for
we use java via gaelyk framework.
though we've explored with go a bit too.
Not sure what Larry Ellison has to do with all this, JDK 1.6 is GPL. Not like
GAE is going to be upgrading to JDK7 anytime soon anyway.
As for why we use java. we like groovy, we like gaelyk. We found it works
well
Oracle already succeeded in tempting lots of people to look away from Java
as a language! Hopefully, the JVM is still a great runtime environment with
the best opensource professional projects.
Against that, Mr Ellison can't do much ;)
Give a try to Play framework + Java or Scala on JVM...

Our app exists as both a Java Version and a Python version. We ended up
deploying the Python version because (despite what everyone says should be
the case) Python has been faster for us (except for a brief period when java
offered concurrency and Python didn't).
We chalked this up to the
You just enjoy watching gladiator combat, eh?
Perhaps this should be phrased as JVM vs Python runtime, because
there are other languages you can run on the JVM besides Java
(including Python, oddly enough).
I write most of my serious apps in Java because I think statically

It is faster to develop in, and the terse syntax is very nice (once
you're accustomed to it).
