I just realized I've never actually seen on-prem Github. GitLab on the other side is everywhere, especially thanks to the Community Edition. I've never seen really big deployments, but for instances with 100-200 people on board there was never any problem (and DevOps guys sit right next to me, so I would probably hear something).

As for the hosted solutions, IMO both GitLab.com and Github.com are pretty slow. I've just recently started using non-premise solutions of both and Github slowness is really taking it's toll on my patience.

Sure, but that's an indictment of Atlassian products, not of Java for web.

For context: Ebay, Amazon and Google (Plus, Talk) are using Java for web. None of those are what I would consider slow.

If people were condemning Java for web as being slow, and Atlassian used Java and was slow, then you could reasonably assume that the reasons are correlated.

That is the case I'm making about Gitlab and RoR.

EDIT: you're mentioning Jira Cloud being slow, but we have the on-prem version and it's also very slow.
