Github would not have been the same in any of those. They really took to some of the Rails concepts - a lot better than most Rails companies - and it shows in their product (routing, object structures, etc)
- gameswithgo 8y agoSo your claim is you could not create the same user experience in any language that is jitted or compiled? I can't really take that seriously.
- jb3689 8y agoSure, in retrospect you could create the same thing. It's just various text processing at the end of the day. What I'm claiming is that their choice of Rails led to certain choices which were really transparent throughout the product and are still there. It would've grown to be something totally different on another technology, so I don't think it's fair to just look at cost and performance. They did many things "the Rails way"
