Just curious about how Google delivers such quick results and which language enables them to do that and write their amazing algorithm. therefore that language must be a very good language, if not the best.
Anybody know? thank
It has little to do with the language being used, the infrastructure is more important.
Googles infrastructure is basically spreading its index over multiple servers, hence the reason as of why google never seam to time out, despite how many uses google as their search engine.

I would say that they are more likely to use multiple languages, then rely on a single language alone.

Google is writen in Python, although the core search engine is written in C++.
They use javascript (& Ajax) for client side content to displaied.
It is said their Spiders are written in perl. They majorityly use Linux servers.
I have a Google PR Checker, and the way that is run is very simular to a RSS feed. They query a page and it shows something like "Google 1:1:3" where the last number 3 is the pagerank.
(Python, Perl. C/C++, Javascript and a Database)

pagerank is written in c++ and crawlers in python
