?? Their source code is downloadable to us since we have a license, but I've not checked. Everything else Atlassian purchased has been Java, afaik.

And Atlassian's only opinionated project manager I know about is Jens who does Stash, so I think you are generalizing to apply that to all of Atlassian. I've been using their products a long time now and he is the first that has been like that, but I know what you mean. He doesn't really meet up with Atlassian's typical level of customer service because of his attitude, but maybe he's a "rockstar" that deserves respect.
