Google uses dozens of different languages in the services they offer. Heck, they even built a few languages themselves, like Go and Dart. Go is definitely used in production as well http://golang.org/doc/faq#Is_Google_using_go_internally http://golang.org/doc/faq#Is_Google_using_go_internally.
Is there any data to suggest that Google writes a non-negligible number of apps in Python vs the dozens or so of other languages? I'm curious.
- e12e 13y agoThey did start out their compute cloud [edit: I mean appengine] with python, and I think they started out offering mercurial hosting first on code.google.com? And they famously employ Guido. I also seem to recall something about reimplementing git in python for code.google.com, but I could be mistaken. [edit2: According to http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.ht... "Python is the main scripting language used at Google."]
