Looking to find out what is the main programming language that drives the Zillow web based application. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Their homepage sends the following http header:

X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.0.3SP1 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_3_SP1 date=200510231054)/Tomcat-5.5

Which, indicates java.

$ curl -v -X HEAD http://www.zillow.com

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:37:55 GMT
< Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
< X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.0.3SP1 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_3_SP1 date=200510231054)/Tomcat-5.5
< X-Internal-Host: 013

So Java EE 1.4 on the back end and Javascript on the front end.
