Google was written in?

curious to know.

I friend of mine told that google utilises Python alot... but alot of things might be written in C++ also :)

i read somewhere that it utilizes python too, and saw IDLE on the monitor of a google competition for new jobs

I don't know which language, but it is certainly CGI. Python it isn't, though. It'd have a .py extension as only CGI binaries can execute without a handler.

And because Google is heavily in the US I'd say C/C++.

I have to disagree, after some research

Huh. I thought Python wasn't runtime compiled, and that it required an interpreter? So why is it being used like a CGI application then? Interesting.

Looks like Python is used more frequently than I thought it was. :shock:

yes, i expected asp.net but when saw python :shock:

You use python?

Here,
i use it as an advanced shell (use upx all my exe's for example), and personal utilities (open the script and edit what do you want is much better than have to open delphi and compile the hole thing again)

I don't actually use Python but I keep tabs on the scripting/programming scenes around the net. I marginally considered using something like Python. How much weight does it keep on the system if you install it as an interpreter? By that I mean, does it run as a service and does it constantly tie resources up?

I do hate having to recompile things just for simple changes, I must say. That's why I started to look into Lua, but never actually got into it.

no its only runs on .pyc, .py and .pyw files

no system service involved

no system service involvedEven better. I've always been looking for a more powerful batch-file. :D And in some ways I think working with Python would be far easier than batch files.
