I'd be glad to read up more on the arguments against Gitblit. What I have seen in my review of the numerous mailing list posts is merely the mention of Gitblit as an alternative, and no explicit rebuttal. The quote here is from an IRC discussion where I explicitly asked Wirt why Gitblit was rejected, and this was literally his response. Notice how, in the article, I do not take a stance regarding the validity of that statement.

With the new Stretch release out the door, it is, however, interesting to note the various programming language stats: Java is the fourth most popular language after C, C++ and... XML! (Next up are Python, SH and Perl.) I myself, do not dislike Java as a language so much, but I have found it difficult to manage Java applications quite often as a sysadmin, as the frameworks can be quite heavy on resources, so I believe I understand where Wirt is coming from.

Everything, of course, should be written in my $current_language_of_choice. ;)
