Dynamic languages on Google App Engine - an overview. Ola Bini’s notes on exploring the new Java support for App Engine with the aim of getting JVM dynamic languages such as JRuby running. Restrictions include a complete lack of threads (which will make it hard to get Scala up and running), but JRuby trunk now works without modification.
Scala runs fine on app engine. Only the actors library might present difficulties, which can be a problem for the Lift Web Framework as it relies heavly on actors. They are working on it, though.
