My experience: Sysadmin-driven companies (typically Sun-based) often used Perl. Developer-driven companies used other languages running on cheaper X86 Linux.

Remember when HN was convinced that the gutted Twitter would die within weeks after Musk's 80% workforce cuts? Like, how could you possibly run that kind of service without 8000 SF/Silicon Valley employees?
