I was hoping for node or dart, but it looks like PHP instead?

PHP is the #1 feature request on their tracking page (and has been since almost day 1).

I assume/hope that it's not so much that people want to use PHP on AppEngine as it is they want to use popular PHP applications (WordPress and so on).

Dart doesn't come close to qualifying as a "very popular" language.

Fixed. :)

In the moments between the time I saw this and the time I saw that it was almost certainly PHP, I was hoping for JavaScript, with Ruby as a close second preference.

I can see why PHP makes sense, though, even though I have zero interest.

I really doubt it's Dart, which is not ready for this kind of service.
