what if, an alternative to both mastodon _and_ pleroma, which is much less memory-heavy and is a single executable file you drop on your server
help us out #rustodon

@er1n after I saw a friend writting a 900 lines long code in rust for a script that would be at most 50 lines of python I was very less hyper by this technology for this kind of applications >_>
@wxcafe @er1n and you get way slower web development has ruby/ror or python/django are amongs the best things out there for that
Always a trade off between fast and more flexible development and slower memory usage. That's a strategical choice and you generally have better chance of sucess if you choose the first when you have no idea on the potential success.
Rewrite can come later if really needed.
@bram @er1n no, but you write gitea in go for example. same principle. and if it can help me have less than 6 gigs of ram on the server to run a web app, it would be nice.
