Sounds like an ongoing process rather than a new thing
- simonw 18y agoTwitter has been mostly not Rails for a very long time. You can't build a service like Twitter on top of a traditional relational database stack, so much of their infrastructure is based around custom message queue stuff.
- dhh 18y agoLet me give you a scoop, then: Lots of 37signals code is not in Rails, either. We run Solr for search. We use a C-based poller for Campfire. We call out to ImageMagick for transformations of images. Most successful LAMP sites use software from more than one bucket. That is not news.
