I agree that it is harder to find top notch people than mediocre, that just seems natural, following the talent bell curve(most in the middle level of ability, some very poor, some excel) but how does Google limits itself to C++? I read a lot of noise on Google using Python:
http://www.python.org/about/quotes/ http://www.python.org/about/quotes/ (and this is just a starting point of the info on Google using Python)
- menloparkbum 18y agoGoogle doesn't limit itself to C++, they just happen to need C++ programmers at the moment.
- hello_moto 18y agoThey're not limiting themselves to C++. But, view it from a different perspective: 1) C++ is a superset of C (to some extend, this isn't 100% true, but most concepts in C are applicable to C++) 2) If you know C++, it is a little bit easier to grok Java 3) I heard most of their back-end stuffs are written in C++ I also read news about Google being a huge Python company. But to be honest, I haven't heard a product that they shipped that is written in Python. Python is big internally where they need tools to support their development. PS: - GAE library does not count as their product - Exclude YouTube because they chose Python on their own
