Still requires Python 2.7, right? What year is it again?
Does it? I don't see that written anywhere, and prompt-toolkit supports python3.
Google Cloud Platform’s new interactive CLI

#32I wish they would spend more time finishing the halfway done projects they've started (and fully documenting them), rather than continue to launch new ones. For instance...Google CloudSQL - Great! Postgres - Beta...Postgres from AppEngine python...err, we'll get around to it, maybe. Just giving one example, but my point is - finish what you've started before making new. I think recent articles I've read about launchi…
This -- _so_ much. That was my first thinking as well.
IAM in GCP is still half-baked. How about they finish that? I understand that GCP is a massive engineering effort with endless things going on in series, but core parts of their platform are still mediocre at best. I'd prefer not to see more hackweek projects on their blog.

We don't know if they have teams working on this or not...my guess is they do. What if it just takes a long time to ship those features to GA? Should they hold off on other features?

I don't know if Google advocates horizontal movement to different orgs/teams specifically, or if its just anecdata I've picked up talking to Googlers and reading about their org structure, but I wonder if this and the promotional scheme of "launch and move on" has caused teams to splinter and lose serious velocity - becoming the direct cause to stuff like this.
Personally I think Google App Engine has always had massive potential but has been at about 80% of its potential since its inception.
EDIT: Also I don't want to take away from this press release, the CLI is awesome and its going to help a lot of people.

#35LOL @ the bright green on black terminal pictures. How shall I say it, it feels very "l33t". Too bad they didn't use more normal terminal colours, it would improve readability IMO.
What? The green on black contrast is really easy to read and blends well with other colors for syntax highlighting. It's a super common scheme among developers...
I wouldn't say it's a common scheme. I've never seen someone use it IRL, only on pictures online.
I do agree it's not a disagreeable contrast.

Real IPv6 support is another one. I get that it's harder for them because they do such advanced networking at such a scale but... at this point their statements of support seem like empty talk. They are a late adopter.

Yeah. Google Cloud Functions - Beta. Also had a multiple hour outage recently. Been waiting for Postgres to move out of beta for ages.
The good thing about Google Cloud is that once things are out of beta, it is usually easier, cheaper and often faster to use than AWS equivalents. The "AWS way" of charging of every little thing is migraine inducing. (Ex. IOPS for RDS is tied to instance size but can also be scaled independently.)

#38Feels... PowerShellish.

#39While we're on the topic, Cool Retro Term is open source or free and so much fun to play with. I have a real thing for the amber monitors. I got to see some ancient ones still operating the world in my early career on the dying open outcry trading floors of the American Stock Exchange in the mid 2000s.

Yes, I'm adding to the tangent here, but..
I use these 2:

http://sensi.org/~svo/glasstty/
in combination with a regular terminal application to achieve my retro vt220 VAX/BSD UNIX goodness. Doesn't have the phosphor fade like the above, but still feels pretty 'right'.
