I guess if you think that implementing gmail in Java is not using Java much. Google has written and extensively uses the following Java libs: GWT - http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ Guice - http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/ Hadoop - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadoop Google Collections - http://code.google.com/p/google-collections/ etc. etc. No doubt Google uses a boat load of python too -- probably more in relation to Java. But I wouldn't say that Google doesn't use Java much. Not to say that this announcement of using Python as the initial language for GAPE isn't huge. It is. Hooray for Python! /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
