This is currently written in Pascal. I'm in the process of rewriting it JavaScript/Node.js. First part for the rewrite is the ranking. That should be done in about a week or two.
- NhanH 12y agoPascal! Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. You should write a blog post about how you write a search engine in Pascal. That would at least reach top spot on HN!
- deusu 12y agoGiven that I'm in the process of rewriting it in JavaScript I'm not sure about that... On the other hand it's probably worth a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

- xai3luGi 12y agoHave you considered joining the YaCy community? It is another open source search engine. http://www.yacy.net/ http://www.yacy.net/
- deusu 12y agoI know of YaCy. It's written in Java which I'm almost completely unfamiliar with. But I know and follow the YaCy-community. Like myself the lead person of YaCy is located in Germany. We even share the same first name. :)
- fiatjaf 12y agoWhat about Faroo? http://www.faroo.com/ http://www.faroo.com/
- xai3luGi 12y agoInteresting but there is approximately zero technical information about how it works on their website. Minimal code release. Not a distributed network of independently run nodes (like Yacy or Tor).

- e12e 12y agoHaving a look at the source ... why are you rewriting this in node/js? Wouldn't Ada (or nim) make more sense, given the initial design is implemented in Pascal?
- deusu 12y agoMany of the design choices that I made many, many years ago aren't valid anymore. So it won't just be a port to a different language, but a complete redesign and rewrite. Which means that regarding the amount of work, it doesn't really matter which language I use. JavaScript seems to have the biggest community at the moment. Plus I kinda like Node.js. That's why I'm going that way.
