Python? Why?

Also, I thought most of Justin.tv was built on rails?

It's both.

All of our web stuff is done with rails, flash (as3) and javascript.

Everything else (video servers, chat servers, the search engine, and many other smaller things) is done in python - mainly because of the twisted library.
