I'm a bit surprised that Github isn't doing work on Ruby, since they're probably the largest RoR deployment

A lot of ex-Hubbers went to Shopify. Additionally, a lot of upstream commits to Rails occurred from things pulled out of GitHub. GitHub has (had?) an entire team dedicated to Ruby and Rails and performance and optimizations/improvements

This surprised me, as I knew of several prominent GitHub folks contributing to Rails, but when I looked [1], they're all at Shopify. TIL!
