As a result of a conversation with a colleague today, I've been searching (unsuccessfully) for a large'ish list of what technology stacks are being used popular websites and standalone applications today. We're aware of the big ones like Facebook (php/ ), Twitter (scala/cassandra), Youtube (python/?), Digg (php/cassandra), stackoverflow (.net mvc/sqlserver), but we're looking for a more complete list. It would also be interesting to hear about any stats for desktop apps also?
Can anyone help?
Edit: I guess this was more born out of the current flurry of sites moving towards nosql/document db's, and it led towards a larger discussion of who's using what. So does anyone know any kind of authorative list?
