Elasticsearch was written in Java. No one cared. We still used it because it was good software.

Actually we chose not to use it after talked to the developers about some of their approaches at the time. They had weird views on GC and made it impossible to tune their stack to have lower latency. It was not really an option to operate ES for a larger enterprise with decent SREs.
