This project has nontrivial pieces written in Squeak, Java, Ruby, and Javascript. The site has a dash of PHP.

Care to share the rationale behind those choices? Sounds interesting.

Sure, in brief: Smalltalk because we're most productive in it, Java for some code that particularly needed to be performant, and Ruby because it's better than the other two at interacting with the OS/tying all the pieces together. Obv JS for client-side whiz-bang.
