I'm pretty sure that the performance critical paths, including
probably every instruction executed on a search, are all in
C now.  I think they had some early prototypes in Python,
and likely still run some off line or non-critical utilities
in Python.  But you can't run a site as insanely popular and
great as theirs coding in just a script language, not even an
insanely great script language.
