If i write a replacement to mastodon from scratch what language should i pick that woukd make it kost likely that you woukd contribute to the project?

@freemo Mmm, Typescript/Javascript probably might make most sense, but I'd not really know otherwise.

@trinsec @freemo please please for the love of all that is holy do not write a server more advanced than "serve mostly static/template-generated content and a few REST requests" in js/ts.

The point at which they become a major hurdle in maintaining and improving the software is way before the scale of capabilities required for a fedi server.

@Amikke @trinsec @freemo can't hear you, too busy porting dozens of node libraries to Deno so that Tapir will finally work
