Twitter, Ruby on Rails and Scaling - a debate

The guys over at loud thinking post about a conversation that they had with some of the Twitter developers and the issues around scaling and using Ruby on Rails... Interesting for sure (if you are interested in Ruby or software development).

Interesting to note that at one point along the way, (can't be determined when from the post), they were getting 11,000 requests per second on 16 CPU cores with no caching. I wonder what it is now?

All I have to say is that scalability in Ruby is phenomenal. I mean, you honestly have to sit down for hours to read your code in php before planning an upgrade of code. In Ruby what used to take me hours now takes me minutes. What used to take me minutes now takes me seconds. What used to take me seconds... (lol, you get the point).
