- saagarjha 6y agoThis isn't true at all. Google still runs a lot of backend on Java, for example.
- jeffbee 6y agoAnd their backends in C++ dwarf Java and Go backends combined.
- erik_seaberg 6y agoIn 2015 they were saying that the core of web search (and the large majority of Borg cores) was C++ but the rest of google3 was a 50:50 mix of C++ and Java with a smattering of Python. Nobody I knew was looking seriously at Go.
- jeffbee 6y agoI think weighting it by lines of code is pretty misleading. You have to write a zillion lines to make "hello, world!" work in your new language inside their full-custom production environment. I prefer to think of language share in terms of resources committed.
