my $$ is on a node runtime, assuming google is interested in increasing the # of people that use it. python 3 would be nice but it probably wont get people interested like node would.
Agreed. However, Node doesn't really fit their request based abstraction as Node assumes to have a long running server that holds things in memory (like Socket.io connections).
But I haven't really used Node enough to make statements like this, so correct me if I'm wrong.
