I was looking for a comment like this. I also assume the decision was influenced by GitHub which put RoR at it's high as well as what the original author ( Dmitriy ) decided to do so. Anyway, why they stick to RoR these days is probably because they have invested too much into it ( same reason as of why FB is kinda stuck with PHP ). This article doesn't make a lot of sense btw, since "they" ( hundreds+ people org ) did not choose anything as the reality is probably that one person ( Dmitriy Zaporozhets ) woke up one day and said "Hey let's see how far I can go with this."
