There are several points where he won't mention the language. Which languages do you think he meant?

  COBOL.
  • dmux 11y ago
    Wrong. He is most definitely talking about Perl.
    • bjwbell 11y ago
      Wrong C++. maybe that's why he didn't say, it's all of them (for an approximate value of all).
      • weitzj 11y ago
        Rust
        • jinst8gmi 11y ago
          Go
        • pcwalton 11y ago
          How about asking him, instead of speculating here?
• systems 11y ago
  Perl6
• catwell 11y ago
  Probably C++ or Java (Go was written to replace them at Google).
  • slowmovintarget 11y ago
    The first mention sounded like C++. For verbosity (second mention), I'd guess Java. The third mention sounded like JavaScript where he said something to the effect of unexpected tangling, but those are guesses based on what Google uses and Rob's brief description.
