Let me guess: Python makes it easier to scale the application on the "features" axis, and the approach to large-scale computation taken by google makes Python's poor raw performance not so big an issue, so it doesn't prevent the application from scaling on the "load" and "amount of data" axes. I also guess that python is often used to control simple, fast C/C++ programs, or even to generate such programs. Best regards Tomasz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
