The Python rewrite happened 16 years ago. 10 years ago, there was probably an order of magnitude (or more!) less traffic and this is probably what causes most of their instability.

10 years ago was about the time when they first moved to Cassandra and that was a pretty rough period. Lots of rose tinted glasses around here. Reddit has had plenty of stability and scaling problems during the early years.
