AI Thread Summary
BitTorrent was initially implemented in Python, likely due to the creator Bram Cohen's proficiency with the language. The choice of programming language may not significantly impact the functionality of the software, as the effectiveness largely depends on the programmer's skill. Any modern programming language could have been suitable for developing BitTorrent, emphasizing that the quality of the code and the developer's expertise are more critical than the specific language used.

Maybe because bram cohen was a master at python. Anyways it doesn't mater which language you write in. As long as the programmer is good, any moder language would suffice.

I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
