According to the comments from their developer, Python code is written to follow NewsRelic and Java, Ruby, PHP and others are totally written on their own. Apparently they know NewsRelic developers, but they don't have their source code.

monkeyninja··on The string type is broken
language will not store unicode string internally with UTF8. Yes, we use it as input and output, but in memory, utf8 is terrible for random access characters. endian is only an issue (normally) for input and output, not really an issue for internal storage. especially when using UTF16 and UTF32 you know exactly the size of items.
