Despite all the clicking that has been done on a certain star.gif, I really don’t think Ruby is coming to Google’s App Engine. Google doesn’t have much of a toe in the Ruby scene and App Engine is clearly entrenched in Python technologies (such as Pypy and WSGI). Well, cripes. But, for my purposes, I am really enticed by App Engine, because it gives beginners a supremely cinchy way to make a web app. So, maybe let’s just convert Ruby 1.9 bytecode to Python 2.5 bytecode and decompile. In other words: put in a .rb and get out a .pyc. Yes, could work?
