Building a Search engine
Hello friends,
I am learning C++. I am interested in knowing the real world applications of C++. So I want you people to please tell me which programming language is Google Search Engine built in ?
Looking forward for your kind and informative replies.
Thank you.

I just went to Google, entered Google and clicked on "I'm feeling lucky"... I guess I was 'cos we are all still here!

If I remember right, google's search engine has about 0% to do with C++. This is the same for most engines. It makes a database, and then uses different languages to search for your request through the database. This almost never (or at least from what I've seen) requires C++.

It's just a silly question. What does it matter what language Google is written in? The real point is what are the differences between the different common languages and what are each best used for.
Almost certainly the core of Google would be written in C++ (or possibly C). Less performance-critical code could be in Python, Java(yuck), Javascript, etc.

Nah, I'm pretty sure the smart part (not the one that goes around the Internet fetching pages) is written in some functional language like a dialect of Lisp or something.
