Does anyone know in which programming language the Googlebot was written?
Or, more generally, in which language are efficient web-crawlers written?
I’ve seen many in Java language, but it doesn’t seem to me the most appropriate language to develop a web-crawler because it creates far too much overhead (tried with Heritrix web-crawler, and it’s extremely heavy).
The very earliest version, Backrub, was written in Python and Java.
