- steveklabnik 5y agoAt the time, Go/Kotlin didn't exist, Scala wasn't established, C# was Windows only, and Java and the JVM more generally were a thing that everyone was running to Ruby and Rails from for lots of reasons. Probably wouldn't have gotten the thing out the door if I had to do it in Java.
