[Kc] kc Digest, Vol 47, Issue 4

[Paul Millard]

That is true.  I was the Google Appliances admin for USDA for a while, and
with Guido working at Google, they were actively moving away from Perl.
They still hire Perl developers who are interested in switching to Python.

I had root temporarily on the Appliances for a brief time and found a few
scripts in Perl, but most were Python.  Interestingly, the internal database
was a custom version of MySQL.  Lots of Java on the Search Engine end, as
well as the web interfaces, but there was some Python and Perl scripts that
do cleanup, analysis, reporting, resets, etc.
