SUMMARY

BitTorrent was first implemented in Python by Bram Cohen, who is recognized as a master of the language. The choice of Python over languages like C or Java is not critical to the functionality of BitTorrent; rather, the skill of the programmer plays a more significant role in the success of the implementation. The discussion emphasizes that the programming language itself is secondary to the developer's expertise.

After endless searching I have resorted to a post, I cannot seem to find anywhere why BitTorrent was first implemented in python, rather than C, Java etc?

Does it matter which language it was first written in? Perhaps the guy liked python.
 
lol

Give the guy a break.
 
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.
