Server side javascript on Google app engine

Question

Is there any way to run a Javascript engine, like Spidermonkey, on Google App Engine? Spidermonkey is a C module, so obviously that wont work (GAE doesn't allow those types of modules)... is there something else available?

Answer 1

Here is an article about running Rhino on AppEngine/Java. That should get you a long way towards a real, functioning JavaScript application on AppEngine.

Answer 2

If you are looking for a JavaScript framework (as opposed to calling Java methods from JavaScript) you could try RingoJS (formerly Helma NG). It's a Rhino-based JavaScript framework that can run in AppEngine.
