I probably wasn't sufficiently clear in my other message re Golang:

- Python is our primary development language for most stuff at Dropbox.

- Mobile development and UI code use whatever is appropriate for each platform.

- Go is the primary language for Infrastructure, meaning fairly deep-backend stuff: databases, storage systems, message pipelines, search indices etc.

- Rust is used on Magic Pocket (which is within Infrastructure).

- We still have a bit of C++ code floating around but there's not much new development in C++ within Infrastructure. C/C++ are still used for common libraries for mobile development however.
