This is a typo in the article. It should say that some of the Mutable Realms staff don't have a lot of experience with C++. The authors of Ice have many years of experience with both C++ and Java.
Also, the philosophy of Ice is the exact opposite of the "golden hammer" anti-pattern. We fully recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all with respect to programming languages. That's why Ice works with C++, Java, PHP, and soon also with C#.
For Wish, C++, Java, and PHP are used. The client is pure C++, for performance reasons. The performance-critical parts of the server are also written in C++, the non performance-critical parts (or those there the performance bottleneck is the database, not the code) are written in Java. In additition to that, there are PHP scripts for account management and other administrative tools.
