An odd choice of language for something with such robustness and scalability requirements. I love ruby, but for this?

Hey Martin,

All our services are built using Ruby, so it's the obvious choice. It scales and it's robust. We might just spend a little bit more on Heroku than if we'd use another language such as go - but it's definitely not worth introducing a new language to our stack.

Thanks for the comment!
