According to this question and this article, GMail server side is written in JavaScript. I'm wondering which platform is GMail server side JavaScript running on. Node.js? RingoJS?

it's GSE platform :)

$ curl -I http://mail.google.com
...
Server: GSE
...

note that google web runs on a different platform, gws (google web server?)

it might be google servlet engine (OpenGSE) or something completely different..

the mail data itself (not only the web) also comes with the same header (as intercepted in a browser)

however, it's still the web interface, i did not check SMTP servers, if you were interested in that

the question "which javascript engine is it running?" remains open (if it even makes a sense)
