Which projects at FB London make heavy use of Java ? My interviewers seemed not to be fluent in the language so wondering if it is used extensively.

    FB London is C++, JS (React) and Hack (PHP) mainly. Ofc their Android app makes use of Java. What languages were your interviewers fluent in?

      Do you know which teams use what? I assume that anything that touches FB (e.g. shops) is going to use Hack, while some other backend processes are more C++ oriented, correct?

      In general, from what I have heard, only old codebases are in Java. Don't get your hopes up regarding that, and work hard to perform on either C++ or Hack.

    Choice of the programming language should not be your first criterion for team matching.

    • How much YOE you have and what is your profile. I mean whether you are Android dev, IOS dev or something else.
      And why are you worried about this thing?
