- mrduncan 16y agoWhile Ev certainly deserves plenty of credit for Twitter's success, I think you're giving him a little too much in this case. Twitter actually started out as a Rails project because Florian Weber (who worked at Odeo with Jack on the initial implementation) was a member of the Rails Core team. Jack was originally going to develop it in Python, C, and Ocaml.
