Interesting read. It always surprises me that companies go many years running major apps and infrastructure with interpreter-based languages like Python and Ruby to begin with. It's an incredible waste of energy, compute, and for web apps sometimes, users' time.

Developers need to be a lot more disciplined about performance and efficiency. I'm glad Khan went to Go, but man all those years wasted.
