Github is not a website in the normal sense. Github is a layer over top of Git. One of the best wrappers for libgit/what ever there is (regardless of Language) is the Ruby rugged library which Github pretty much built. Before that was grit which was also Ruby based. And what Github was built on.
Everything else is just extra they added on. Their core product is a Web based Git.
But I sometimes wonder this as well, I love Ruby a ton. But I wonder how Github would have done had they used another language PHP, Python, Lua what ever.
But then again the same thing can be said about Facebook, would they need less servers if they switched to another language?
