Depends on what "full stack" is meant to cover. I haven't found a 
single full-fledged forum software framework for Python, but 
plenty for PhP. So in the end "full stack" isn't really enough. 
You still end up having to integrate with "foreign" systems.

Ok, those are so lightweight that they are very close to being 
libraries.

Yeah, but I think they are a disaster because they don't follow 
the times. :-) Lightweight do, well at least they are remade or 
forked.

Hehe, but webapp2 + jinja2 isn't all that different from Flask 
and Bottle (which also can run on GAE).

I am under the impression that Go for GAE is written by the Go 
Team? So it shouldn't be an anti-pattern… (?)

You better ask the dining philosophers.
