What is the point of articles like this? I'm not trying to be snarky; I really am trying to understand why a company would go out of its way to advertise the technology its using.
Sometimes we see blog posts from devs at companies (often pretty senior) who write things like "We went with Clojure, and we've been really happy." That's clearly a geek-to-geek thing. But what is this? I mean, it's also geek-to-geek, but it's more "official." Users don't care -- they might have no idea what's even being discussed.
Honestly, it's hard not to read this kind of thing as, "We had a whole bunch of meetings where we debated what language/technology/platform to use. There was bitter, acrimonious warfare, but we don't want to be a company that is about warfare, so we're writing this post that makes the case for why the people on the side of the angels won the argument."
