Grooveshark code

Question

Does anyone know what Grooveshark.com is coded in? I mean PHP, rails, flash........?

Edit: I take that back, it appears to not rely on Flash anymore. My apologies. — clifgriffin, Feb 16 '11 at 18:57

Grooveshark developer here. Grooveshark's backend is PHP 5.6, and the front end is a mixture of a ton of Javascript and a small flash shim that handles playback, https communications and a few other one-off things that were just easier to make work in flash than javascript.

By digging through the source it looks like PHP (PHP/5.2.14) and a TON of Javascript.

Per WikiPedia:

Grooveshark is a rich Internet application that was first written in ActionScript using the Adobe Flex framework that ran in Adobe Flash. In December 2010, Grooveshark introduced a redesign of the site that features an interface rewritten to use HTML5, which makes the interface perform faster.
