There's nothing magical about Python for scalability. The architecture (strictly enforced shared nothing) is what is important there. I'm sure Google uses Python for its speed of development and maintainability. Of course, some people think that there _is_ something magical about Java for scalability and everything else is a toy, and if what you meant that it's great to see Google debunk that completely in a single evening, then I agree completely. :) -Jonathan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
