From Quora:
Read Quote of Chris Heald’s answer to Mashable: Is Mashable still using WordPress as the cms/platform ? What are the technologies behind this new look and feel? on Quora

Mashable is now running on a custom technology stack. The public-facing bits are a Ruby on Rails backend, with a lot of the templating work pushed to the front-end with Handlebars and Backbone. We’ll be doing a full writeup on the build in the near future.
