I'd think they'd begin transitioning to a higher level language now that there are many options available. It's gotta be a burden at this point to be (1) maintaining their own web server and (2) developing new features in C++. I'd way rather use ruby/python (or even .Net) and fall to C++ for the really performance intensive stuff. (Disclaimer: I interviewed @ OKCupid in 2007)
