80n is the only person who coded / runs the current implemention of
XAPI which is written in GT.M / MUMPS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS
Others have attempting at getting it running but failed.

XAPI currently uses 2 servers:
 * xapi.org.org: Hardware provided and hosted by OSM sysadmin team.
Sysadmin policy that the code needs to be open source. 80n remove the
source code dump in December.
 * osmxapi.telascience.org: VM supplied by 3rd party. For the last few
months 80n has been running his own projects on this machine,
performance has slowed. OSM sysadmin team not involved.

Future of XAPI...
Since December there is a new java implemenation of XAPI under
development. Code is open source
https://github.com/iandees/xapi-antlr/ . OSM sysadmin team has
provided a modest server (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Servers/azure ) to help with
development. Additional hardware will be provided when a new
implemenation is ready.

 Grant
 Part of OSM sysadmin team.
