Any information which programming languages and server software they used?

  I believe it was in C, written mostly by Mike Burrows (also known for the Burrows-Wheeler transform). He went on to work at Google, where he has had an extremely productive career building some of the most fundamental technologies at google (Chubby) as well as their high performance primitives (https://www.chromium.org/developers/lock-and-condition-variable https://www.chromium.org/developers/lock-and-condition-varia...). He is one of the few people I've worked with who is a veritable genius programmer. He understands atomic locking at the physics level.

    This is correct, although as I recall every now and then Mike rewrote core functionality in assembly for speed.
