Greetings folks! One of the App Engine PMs here. That couldn't be further from the truth - we absolutely want people to use App Engine. If you want to manage your own infrastructure, Google Compute Engine is great. If you want something that scales automatically, and requires less management - App Engine is a great option. We've actually made a ton of changes recently, specifically on our support for docker based runtimes, new docs, and new runtime support (like nodejs, ruby, python3, etc).

If you have any questions at all about the service, feel free to ask me anything.

When will App Engine finally upgrade Go to 1.6? It's currently stuck at 1.4.

Also, why the long delay? Is it because of the switch from C to Go in 1.5?

Hm, I tried now with:

l.Infof("version=%s", runtime.Version())

...and it gives me:

version=go1.6 (appengine-1.9.36)
