title: why is javascript node.js not on google app engine
body: <p>Google created the V8 JavaScript engine: V8 compiles JavaScript source code directly into machine code when it is first executed.</p>
  
  <p>Node.js is built on V8 - why is Google not offering any Node.js servers like Microsoft Azure?</p>
  
  <p>Google App Engine would be a natural place to put Node.js.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know why Google is not doing just that?</p>
