Noteikti jau būsiet piefiksējuši, ka Google ir palaidusi jaunu servisu Google App Engine, kas dod iespēju uz Google infrastruktūras bāzes veidot web aplikācijas.

Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google’s infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it’s ready to serve your users.

Ja jums tas ieinteresēja, tad noteikti arī pamanījāt, ka PHP šobrīd netiek atbalstīts. Tikai Python.

Currently, Google App Engine allows you to write your applications with Python 2.5.

Un tieši tāpēc, jau tagad cilvēki sāk rosīties, lai “piespiestu” Google izveidot arī PHP implementāciju. Ja arī tu vēlies kaut kā iesaistīties šajā “kampaņā”, tad ko un kā darīt, var lasīt PHP Classes bloga ierakstā Google App Engine needs PHP support. Par to vai tam ir jēga vai nav, nediskutēšu.
