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

What prompted you to ask this, heh?

@freemo @trinsec Whatever replacement you have in mind for Mastodon, I think it should have a personalized recommendation algo, on local instance feed and especially on a timeline since that feed is pretty much useless for now.

@freemo

Being retired and at my advanced age I'm not sure I want to climb the python learning curve at this time, but count me in to help in any way I can. (especially after the power grab that Eugene just did)

@voidabyss @trinsec

@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
