Twitter was Ruby but moved to Java.
- glogla 15y agoThe last thing I know was they moved from Ruby to Scala. Did they move to Java without me noticing or do you mean Scala by Java (since it's a JVM language too)? EDIT: according to Wikipedia the service itself moved from Ruby to Scala while search moved from Ruby to Java.
- elchief 15y agoTwitter was Ruby but moved to Scala and Java :D
- getsat 15y agoTwitter's frontend is still all Ruby/Rails. The Ruby -> Java claim is common, but incorrect. (Source: I know multiple engineers in SF who work there.) A lot of their backend stuff is now Java, though.
