Do they use PHP, Perl or what? Do they use a framework, and if so, which one?

I am interested to know.

Here's some information from Wikipedia... they have their own webserver called "Google Web Server". Outside of that it seems like there isn't much publicly available information on the subject.

I know - I didn't mean to type that (which is why I edited it out)... obviously it wouldn't be PHP

I agree with Justin above: probably C++ or Java (maybe with some python, etc. for small stuff)

Thank you Richard for an interesting read and sorry@mods for posting a question that "may have required extended discussion", was half hoping a Google engineer might answer!
