Twitter currently has a traffic rank in the top 500 websites
Netcraft rate Twitter at position 46,867
- and is completely dynamic. Google currently indexes over 220, 000
pages from twitter.com. It's not a trivial problem. Its not
something that a few more servers will fix: twitter needs to come up
with new architecture such that it can manage the service properly.
In reality this means transitioning to a core twitter centric
codebase - ie, do exactly as amazon, ebay and others have done:
replace the web scripting language they prototyped in and roll their
own, where it makes sense.
So hop off the language hate bandwagon, because no-one cares.
Instead, add something constructive.

[1] Seriously, I really don't give a crap what platform you prefer.
I started learning about Ruby on Rails. Then I found out it is a
framework. So I stopped.
