The company I’m working for is a real-time bidding platform for internet 
advertising.

Our bidder is written in C++ for speed reasons,
Web app is built in ruby/rails because, well Rails ;)  <- This is where I spend 
most of my time
Erlang is used for several smaller services inside of our org.  
Elixir (which runs on the erlang vm) is what we’re thinking of transitioning 
to just because we like the syntax better

Bash is the glue that ties all of our linux boxes and they services together.

There’s 15 of us developers in the company and were split between backend, 
frontend & reporting teams, but were all free to work on whatever projects we 
want to work on/update.  We all have write access to the github repos.  It’s 
definitely a great way to learn/sharpen your skills on different languages.
