A search engine. From what I know, its the only engine using Go (aside from Google.) Blekko uses Perl, DDG uses python (I think), Bing uses unicorn blood, and all the smallr ones use Jva and/or C++.


Hm, it seems DDG uses Perl actually[1].

You needn't have said "aside from Google": it seems that Google doesn't use Go for the search engine.


It's mostly C++ for indexing and lookup, but "Search" is a big topic, and there are Go, Java, and Python parts in the many systems that make Google's web search work. Go is growing in popularity within Google.


They do use it on some parts of the system. But its not a pure Go implementation like Nuuton. (:
