Does anyone know in which language is written googlebot?
Wget, for example, is written in C, but googlebot??

ssshhh, its a secret protected by the patriot act and the department of homeland security, it must never be known that google is a black ops for the cia/nsa domestic spying operation and for the assimilation and aggregation of private data on everyone in america with a computer.

What is your opinion?
Do you think they used C, C++, Java,...?

Visual Basic?

From what I have read, they do specially design their own servers.

In the past year I have noticed that Google has made great advances in linguistics. Their algorithm knows the many distinctions in the slight variances but huge meaning differences in keyword combinations.

Given that, is C++ the best choice for applying complex linguistic modules?

That might be a good question to ask Matt Cutts if you catch his ear at a convention.

I doubt they would say, as that might expose them to various hacks.

It's likely they rolled their own, or heavily modified something else.

I guess they are using Python.
