I noticed that this was asked in the following post. Has anyone used both and can conclusively tell me which is better? It seems like python might be a little easier to implement and faster?

App Engine offers you a choice between two Python language environments.
js, Java, Ruby, C#, Go, Python, or PHP. A fully managed environment lets you focus on code while App Engine manages infrastructure concerns. Use Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging to monitor the health and performance of your app and Cloud Debugger and Error Reporting to diagnose and fix bugs quickly.
The Google Colaboratory (“Colab”) is a notebook (like a Jupyter Notebook) where you can run Python code in your Google Drive. You can write text, write code, run that code, and see the output – all in line in the same notebook.
By this time, both implementations are reasonably mature and solid, and their functionality is pretty similar (I don't think it's quite 100% equal yet, but, moving in that direction). So, if you already know only one of the two languages, I'd say "just go for it". If you already know both, you don't need my advice;-).
If you know neither, but are rarin' to try some of the non-Java languages that are (more or less;-) supported on the JVM side of GAE (I believe this includes Scala, server-side Javascript, JRuby, etc), then it's worth trying. If you know neither, and don't want to risk a "not-first-class-supported language", I'd definitely agree with your observation that Python's faster to learn (but of course I'm biased in favor of Python;-).
