Not really. It’s mostly Java and Go.
- Longhanks 5y agoHow can you tell?
- alblue 5y agoI worked there, and yes, most of the server side stuff is in Java and Go.
- qaq 5y agoDo you need both or would just Go do :) ? Hate Java
- alblue 5y agoIf you were starting from scratch, you probably would start with a different system. However web objects was their web framework at the time which was ported from objective c to java decades ago and shifting legacy from any technology to another is practically impossible especially if that technology is a cost rather than a product.
- qaq 5y agoI am not sure what is upsetting about the question was honestly wondering how realistic it is to work at Apple on services using primarily Go.
- bartvk 5y agoDisappointing but perhaps not surprising. Your experience is reasonably recent?
- saagarjha 5y agoEither you ask someone who worked there, or you can trawl job postings.
- djxfade 5y agoDoesn't the iTunes and App Store backend still run on WebOjbects?
- alblue 5y agoYes, but while web objects was a first class thing in the objective c world back in 1995 the direction swung due Java from about 1997 onwards — I doubt there’s any non-Java WOA any more. For example, it was developed when 32 bit PowerPC was a thing and I don’t think it ever made it to 64 bit Intel.
