I'm up for building this. What dinosaur languages should we code this in? erlang, tcl and perl?

You may need to sit down for this, but when Yahoo launched, TCL was 6 years old, Perl was 7, and Erlang was 8. Today, Go is 14, Swift is 12, and Rust is 11.

You could work in Erlang, PHP, and C++ at Meta ;)
