I’m a newbie in the Python and GAE world and I have a question.
With Python the normal approach is to only optimize the code when needed, fixing the more urgent bottlenecks.
And one of the ways to achieve that is by rewriting the most critical parts of the program in C.

By using GAE are we losing this possibility forever?
Since Google’s Go language is now (or it will be as soon as it is compiled more efficiently) the fastest language in GAE, will there be a way to mix Python and Go in the same app?
What other ways could be used to achieve a similar result?

    See Can I write parts of the Google App Engine code in Java, other parts in Python? for how to use multiple languages.

    Basically, each version of a given app can only use one runtime language.

    But, you can have two different versions of your app, written in different languages, and they can pass information back and forth through the datastore.

    Also, you can have two different apps, in two different languages, and you can have then pass information back and forth through requests.
