What is Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial Site Programmed In?

Kind of a silly question, but, as someone learning Rails (after mucking around in PHP for several years), with the intent of building some serious apps but also doing content management, I'm curious what a simple content-managed site like that one runs on.

The Ruby on Rails Tutorial website is a Rails 2.3 app running on Heroku. (At some point I plan to upgrade it to Rails 3, but this isn't currently a priority.) Because the content is largely static, most pages are cached using Heroku's Varnish HTTP cache.
