| When I worked at OpenConnect (Netflix's CDN) there was a lot of Python too, and I started porting a lot of the tooling to Go. By the time I left (2019), Go was really starting to take off outside of OpenConnect too -- but yes, there's historically a huge amount of Java there. |

| Likely because Netflix relied on Silverlight for video playback early on. I'd be surprised if they still had C# in their front-end stack (and I say that as a general C# fan, though I use it on the back-end). |

| Their UI originally was Silverlight which at that time had the best "adaptive streaming" story. |
