I thought i'd try and compile a list of various popular sites and the languages/API's that hold them together:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACEBOOK
Most of what is presented to the user is written in PHP/MySQL.
TWITTER
Written originally in Ruby On Rails. They switched to Scala for some of the backend once traffic levels rocketed and the badly written Rails code couldn't be efficiently scaled.
DIGG
Written entirely using PHP/MySQL .
YOUTUBE
Youtubes server-side is written in Python.
FLICKR
PHP
WIKIPEDIA
PHP
WORDPRESS
PHP
EBAY
The engine is written in C++ and Java.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone knows anything else that I should add/correct please comment.
