well what is java written in? you can always claim that hadoop is ultimately writen in the language used to create java.

they should have used Perl5 and Moose thought!



Java is written in mostly Java, of course !

According to sloccount of latest tar of OpenJDK6:

java: 2393565 (72.63%) cpp: 462235 (14.03%) ansic: 419499 (12.73%) sh: 17089 (0.52%) asm: 1936 (0.06%) awk: 598 (0.02%) lisp: 449 (0.01%) cs: 72 (0.00%) jsp: 24 (0.00%) csh: 3 (0.00%)

There is lisp in there? I am betting elisp for an emacs major mode or something. But 72% Java. c/c++ would be for posix interfaces, and probably enough core VM code, and perhaps hotspot stuff.
