Google App Engine (GAE) is a PaaS cloud computing platform (check out its Wikipedia page for more details) provided by ... emh Google of course. It has a of features a nice pricing, with a large free quota and the most important thing is that you can use Big G's inffrastructure. GAE started supporting Python and Java. Later was added Go (as experimental) which was born as a runtime for GAE.
Recently GAE added PHP support.
It would be really great if would be added Perl support, so please add a star on the GAE issue list.
At the time of this writing the "Perl language support" feature is the first one (with 2279 stars), followed by "Ruby language support" (with 2182 stars).
So, add a star ... tell also to your grandma :)
It is very easy: just log in with your Google account and click on the star you see in the left side of the row relative to adding "Perl language support" GAE issue list. Got it? Ok, now do the same with your grandma's google account ... aahh she can remember when a floppy disk was the size of a spare wheel and she wrote her first Perl HelloWorld, so she will be happy when GAE will add Perl support.
I can't resist to conclude with this question:
which Perl framework would you like on GAE?In my opinion, would be really great to have the perlish Mojolicious. Mmmh, thinking more about it, should be better add generic Plack support, so any app.psgi could be run.
