    Prolly a little bit of Thrift for client/server distribution. http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2261927130 http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2261927130

  Actually - more information here: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2223862130 http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2223862130 From the blog post: "Almost all our servers are running open-source software. Our Web servers use Linux and Apache and PHP. Our database servers run MySQL. We use memcached to help keep the site snappy. Some of our behind-the-scenes software is written in Python and Perl and Java, and we use gcc and Boost for the parts that aren't. Our developers use Subversion and git to keep track of their work. The list goes on—like many Web sites, we use it from top to bottom."

  PHP: Choice of how many m/billionaires? ColdFusion: MySpace PHP: Facebook, Flickr Python: YouTube, reddit Lisp: Viaweb Ruby: ?
  • nostrademons 19y ago
    I think you mean multi-millionaires - basically all the billionaires based their companies on C and C++.

    I think MySpace now runs on some variant of ColdFusion compiled to .NET
