Why not ask Google, they are the people who will know!

My understanding is that the main languages in use by Google for their own internal developments are C++, Python and Java and also a language called Go which is something they developed themselves for their own purposes (I have no idea what it does, the only thing I know about it is that it includes the keyword panic which I think is just brilliant). And JavaScript of course for the front-end browser code, although they also use GWT to let them write that sort of stuff in Java. I think GMail is written using GWT, I seem to remember that's what they developed it for originally. They also use other languages to a lesser extent, Perl, PHP, Ruby. As far as I am aware they're not big on .NET although I wouldn't be surprised to find they use it somewhere or other. They seem to like having a finger in as many pies as they can. Database-wise, they use their own database called Bigtable that they built themselves. It is not a relational database and does not use SQL but is designed to handle huge (by which I do mean HUGE) volumes of data.

Are you sure they aren't using Go?... What a contradiction!
