I also worked on a team at Amazon that did (still does to this day, as far as I know) lisp development. A system that was responsible for automated customer support workflows. And it had a visual programming environment for solutions architects. I worked on the Java backend of that.


I was just talking to someone about Java and they said that it's outdated but afaik it's still a major part of their internal infrastructure. Ofc, they're trying to eat their own dogfood which means they're trying as much as possible to move to AWS for internal services which is basically a mix of customized OSS services programmed in a wide mix of languages, but I imagine mostly C/++ and other low level languages encapsulated in various virtualization solutions.
