The information you're curious about does not seem to be in the public record. It's not easy to convey things like that through journalists, especially business journalists. Some of it may not even exist: some of the best coders I've ever known don't really have a favorite language. Knew a math PhD from MIT who used to just churn out Perl and C++ all day happy as a clam. I asked him if he'd prefer Lisp or something but he didn't really care - all about the algorithms for him. Anyway, there are still good indications that Marissa Mayer has kept up both an academic interest in computer science and suspiciously coder-like habits well after her ascension to upper management. Mayer was still teaching CS classes at Stanford after becoming a Google executive.[0] She uses a terminal-based email client.[1] And uses plain text for all her personal organizing.[2] [0]http://ecorner.stanford.edu/author/marissa_mayer http://ecorner.stanford.edu/author/marissa_mayer [1]https://twitter.com/marissamayer/status/327200020128489472 https://twitter.com/marissamayer/status/327200020128489472 [2]http://lifehacker.com/265651/google-vp-organizes-her-life-in-txt http://lifehacker.com/265651/google-vp-organizes-her-life-in...
