Fun, but overal quality seems a bit lacking. When I search myself; the top 10 results don't even have my last name ('Kusters') and just shows pages that have the word 'Nick'. I suppose you don't use a form of LSA to score the search results? Maybe it's too specific, but afaik mainstream search engines seem to give somewhat consistent results here. https://deusu.org/query?q=nick+kusters Looking at the code (https://github.com/MichaelSchoebel/DeuSu/) I notice that you have ranking modifiers based on the .tld; why not store the reported content language and score based on that? Isn't that more relevant?

You may want to have a look at these as they have similar goals to yours: http://openwebindex.eu/en/ https://deusu.org Sourcecode for deusu.org is on: https://github.com/MichaelSchoebel/DeuSu OpenWebIndex is only in the idea stage as far as I know. Deusu has been running for over a year and already has about 1.2 billion pages in their index.

Pascal - still use it today. I started with Turbo Pascal 3.0, went through several versions of Borland Pascal (DOS and Windows), several versions of Delphi, and am now using FreePascal. I do most of my work on Linux nowadays. Pascal still gets everything done and after 20+ years I am really fluent in it. Did a little bit of Javascript with Node.js, also looked at Golang. While I did like some aspects of them, there was always the downside of having to learn a whole new ecosystem. Didn't like the dynamic typing of Javascript. Golang looked better for what I do. But in the end I just wrote a small Pascal library to emulate Golang's channels which I really liked, and that was the end of Golang for me. My main project in Pascal is a search-engine: https://deusu.org Sourcecode for that is on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaelSchoebel/DeuSu So
