Google App Engine

Unfortunally, the Google App Engine [L1 ] only seems to support Java and Python.

I wonder if Jacl helps us?

NEM 2010-01-08: Yes, Jacl (or the TJC compiler) can be used to deploy Tcl applications to Google's app engine (technically, at least -- you'd have to check Google's terms of service). An example servlet that should work follows. This simple servlet evaluates any arbitrary code that you pass in the ?script= parameter (e.g., script=puts+%22Hello,%20World!%22). Obviously, don't deploy this to a production server!

package jacltest;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintStream;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import tcl.lang.*;
