Google Scala App Engine ??

Announced by Google this week: the Java App Engine is now available. It comes with a new eclipse plugin that allows to manage both the deployment on the App Engine and application development using GWT (version 1.6).
The first obvious question for a Scala Dude is: What about the Scala integration ?
A first answer can be found directly from the google-appengine-java group:

• Scala works out of the box.
• Scala Actors do not work, because they are implemented using Threads (which are not supported).
• The Lift web framework does not work out of the box, because it depends on Actors and JDBC.

Some blogs confirming the limitations listed above:

• print "Me"
• Froth & Java
• Mawson's Hut
• Pinky (Scala REST/MVC web framework)

So it's not perfect, but it's good news for the Scala eco-system anyway !!
Note that it seems that Lift will work on the Java App Engine soon (see the comment from David Pollak: "I'll get code checked up next week that makes core Lift work with gae") ...
