Q: 

erlang on google app engine ?

I know python can be run on GAE

  1. what is different erlang and python in lay man term?
  2. can erlang run on google app engine ?
+7  A: 

Erlang and Python are programming languages, and each language has one or more "runtimes" that allow you to run programs written in those languages. GAE supplies a Python runtime.

GAE has no support for Erlang programs.

Good answer. GAE also has a Java runtime, which has opened up GAE to many of Jave Virtual Machine languages (JRuby, Groovy, Clojure, even a form of PHP). If you want something similar to Erlang on the JVM, you might want to look into Scala.
