What language is Asana written in?

Question

I see the Asana API is made in ruby

How is the backend created? Does it use some well-known web structures like Rails?

Answer 1

From the site of Asana:

Luna, our internal framework for writing great web applications

When writing a complex, highly sensitive web application, there are all kinds of really complex programming tasks that you end up doing over and over for every function you want to write. This is all too familiar to authors of Web2.0-style software (and generally interactive software). When we launched Asana, we knew that we wanted to create an application that was both very complex in functionality and very fast experience, and felt that the existing set of tools was simply not able to smell. So we created Luna, an internal end-to-end infrastructure that automates the multitasking work of writing rich web applications to an unprecedented degree.
