thats what i always wondered. what programming language has been used by Google to make their web services. they have given all sorts of information on how to use the services but give no information on what they themselves used to make the web services. Is there any way to make out what they have used to make their web services. Regards On 6/9/06, Adam Maccabee Trachtenberg <adam@trachtenberg.com> wrote:
