mint.com programming technology

Question

Does anyone know what's mint.com's programming language/technology? Are they using Java? .NET? Python? Ruby?

Their site is extremely good and I was just wondering what they've chosen to develop their web site.

Thanks.

P.S. MINT.COM is a Personal Finance Management online application. P.S. 2: THANKS EVERYONE FOR ANSWERING. I really found every single answer very helpful. Also I am happy I found out about Matt's blog.

Answer 1

I guess Java, by looking at the job openings.

Answer 2

I found a job posting for mint.com, this might give some idea about the technology they're using:

Looks like:

• Linux or Unix server
• Java
• Hibernate
• MySql database

Answer 3

I'd guess Java

Their front-end marketing site is X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9

But the login page is powered by Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

Coyote is used with Java-based systems.

Answer 4

I'm guessing they're not using .net as their servers are all running F5 Big-IP or CentOS. Here's the Netcraft report. But it's hard to say what their service is developed on--though job openings are certainly one potential indicator.

Answer 5

"Looks extremely good" part I guess comes from YUI based on Matt's blog . There are also some very nice snippets and samples on his blog that are used on mint.com.
