  I'd originally looked at it back when it only supported Python as a
language.  When they added Java, I didn't really look, I made an
assumption they where talking about JSP pages or something of the
sort.  Then I actually wanted to host some JSP pages, figured I'd take
a look, and said, "Holy Crap!"

  Actually, that's a good note to make.  This application service also
support Python, for all of you Phythonists out there.  :-D
