Companies use all sorts of technologies to produce their products.  I
have no idea who Shaw-PTI is or what they do, but I'm sure they also
use other languages, and web servers, and operating systems, and
telephones and office furniture and pencil sharpeners.  They're all
just tools.  You don't expect a company to waste space on their web
site advertising which brand of pencil sharpener they use, so why
would you expect they would do so for a programming language?

Sometimes you see web sites with "Powered by IBM" or "Powered by Sun"
or whatever.  I'm sure behind every one of those is a deal cut with
the supplier to promote their name in return for some favorable terms
on a contract.
