Do you think they still run Ruby that can't reclaim allocated unmanaged memory? Do you have any idea how their stack looks now?

No, I don't.

My point is their initial success years (which wasn't that off the current product) wasn't some hardcore engineering feat: just a cruder-than-average Rails app.

Whatever their stack looks now is irrelevant.
