Java not yet dead!

Twitter announced that it replaces Ruby on Rails front-end for search with a Java server.
I have recently read an article about Thrift architecture, where authors concluded, that Java thread architecture was the pattern for their solution. In C++ there were no library, that allowed them to get equal performance.
It looks like Ruby on Rails have similar problem.

Twitter after such change gained triple drop in search latency.
