Thanks for the link to GvR's info, I've read through some Python materials in the past few months, learning the basics, and this helps reinforce my need to understand more. Thanks!

It is way too much pain with so little gain, besides you are locked into Google's own technology. Google is a great company, but I do not see developers everywhere idolising them. As of Google and Java, AFAIK Java is one of most commonly used language in that Mountain View company. See GvR's <a href="http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=143947" rel="nofollow">article</a> after he started working in Google. Michael,

And with this news, the new surge of developers have migrated back to Java and new developers are popping up everywhere because of their affinity for all-things Google. So what tie-in do Google and Jave have? I'm sure this story will develop. I’m sure they have their reasons for releasing it as Java-based.

In the words of kiwi developer Phil Pearson: "it turns out to be a Java-to-Javascript translator. WTF?" Mike Crute is similarly unimpressed with this "weird open source offering" from Google, noting that "I would rather gnaw off my left leg than code in Java". Scott Yang comments: "Hmm. Less code. Yeah right…" [...] [...] Some developers are surprised it’s Java-based. In the words of kiwi developer Phil Pearson: "it turns out to be a Java-to-Javascript translator. WTF?"
