5 pointsnelse3 comments

I googled it but I couldn't find the information: in what language news.ycombinator.com is written, what DB engine it uses, where's it hosted etc.

Its made in ARC( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_(programming_language) ) according to this http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/news.ycombinator.com its hosted at Theplanet.com / softlayer.com Not sure what db it runs tho.

IIR there is no database. Just files.
