Tahoe is a "from the ground-up" rewrite, inspired by Allmydata's existing
consumer backup service. It is primarily written in Python.
-Tahoe is based on the Foolscap library [10] which provides a "translucent
-remote object protocol" inspired by the capability-secure "E" programming
-language [11]. Foolscap allows us to express the intended behavior of the
-distributed grid directly in object-oriented terms while relying on a
-well-engineered, secure transport layer.

The underlying networking is provided by the Twisted library [12].
