Twitter to abandon Ruby on Rails? What’s the market say?
By Nigel (Chief News Junkie)
TechCrunch is reporting that Twitter is going to abandon Ruby on Rails. Twitter famously has had massive scalability problems which many commentators have put down to their use of Ruby on Rails. Their former Chief Architect Blaine Cook famously claimed that scaling Rails was “easy”.
TechCrunch is saying they are picking this up from multiple but un-named sources so looks to me about 60% likely that it will happen with 3 months. So, will Twitter announce it is abandoning Ruby on Rails by the end of July?
