Watson was written in mostly Java but also significant chunks of code are written C++ and Prolog, all components are deployed and integrated using UIMA. http://blog.reddit.com/2011/02/ibm-watson-research-team-answers-your.html A nice answer to the question "does UIMA scale?" --bcaec53f9699e8984e049cff30c6--
