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. – John Paulett Oct 31 '09 at 16:31
