On the data plane side, we use different open source components and our choice of programming language depends on them. For example for virtualization, we rely on Linux KVM and the Cloud Hypervisor. The former is in C and the latter in Rust.
Is there an actual underlying message to this or is this just wordplay? Don't know much about Ruby, but what I do know doesn't suggest it would make our (already all too "interesting") times even more "interesting".
