Wasn't Amazon originally written in Perl?
- 542458 5y agoAKAIK Amazon was a hodgepodge, with the front end being mostly C with a custom templating engine that could (eventually) run a subset of pearl for scripting. More C/C++/Java/Pearl was using for backend and internal tooling. So kinda sorta, but definitely not in a way that seems elegant to me :)
