AI Thread Summary
Facebook's development utilizes a combination of programming languages and technologies, primarily focusing on PHP for server-side code. While HTML and CSS serve as markup languages for structure and styling, JavaScript is employed for client-side interactions rather than robust application development. The platform also incorporates C++, Erlang, Python, and potentially other languages, but Java is not a primary component. Instagram shares a similar technological foundation, relying heavily on PHP and related technologies. For a comprehensive overview of the programming languages used at Facebook, a detailed source is available on Quora.

Was Facebook made up with HTML, CSS, HTML5, CSS3, PHP, JavaScript?

I think there has to be server-side code written in, probably, C or possibly JAVA. HTML and CSS and HTML5 aren't even programming languages at all, just markup languages and javascript is not normally used for robust applications, just interactions on a web page.
 
It's a heavily augmented PHP. There's also a good bit of C++, Erlang, Python and D in there as well.

Same with Instagram?
 
I don't think java is used in Facebook or Instagram.

It seems like mainly php (or similar) platforms.
 
I see.
 
Thanks.
