Also, should i want to migrate my data from Google's Datastore, how easy would that be?
What do you have that GAE doesn't?
I'm asking on behalf of myself, mostly, but I imagine there are others here deploying mission critical stuff on app engine.

Aa well as providing a transparent computing platform. This is a much better alternative for my batch processing than keeping my laptop on overnight.
You would still need to keep your laptop on as you wait for your function call to return.
You don't need to. As long as you save the returned job id (what is returned by cloud.call and cloud.map), you can access its return value at any future time - from any computer.
Why doesn't anyone like PHP?
how's that namespace working out for you?

Python is a functional language in the sense that it has first class functions and you can pass them around.
Yes but it's not purely functional in that you cannot automagically make a script scale to n threads, as is the case with Haskell. This is what the OP is referring to.
Instead, the Haskell devs are mostly taking the same approach, of providing constructs for the programmer to explicitly write parallel code: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.6/html/libraries/base/Cont...
