builtwith.com is showing fandalism to be running on IIS. It was quite a rant you had about rails before even checking.

You can write a resource hog application in any language just like you can write an efficient app in any language. Don't blame the tools. This isn't to say different languages are all the same with performance levels, I just think it's negligible compared to the different performance levels of developers.

Quite the rant? Really? Could've sworn I said I'm not sure what technology pud used to create the site, but it'd be interesting to know, and not saying he used rails...just using it as an example.

Regardless, thanks for the builtwith.com tip. I haven't seen that before. It's a little odd though...if I'm reading it right, it says he's running IIS, but using java and cold fusion?

Fandalism runs on Railo, which is an open source ColdFusion interpreter built on Java.

Gotcha. Thank you.
