Python is a distant fifth place at Google today behind Java, C++, JavaScript and Go. It may be behind Typescript too at this point.

Performance critical, lower-level servers are typically written in C++ at Google - think things like Spanner or GCS. Google only allows a very restrictive C++ subset.

Application servers are typically written in Java or Go. Which is preferred depends on the organization.

Google of course makes extensive use of Guava and Guice, and Bazel, which itself is written in Java.
