I see that 58.3% of mastodon code is in #Ruby. I wonder if the dev team has any thoughts moving the backend part of the code to #Elixir, which is known for its #Erlang level reliability as a language. I'm thinking that as the userbase grows maybe it'll be necessary, but I wouldn't like to say that ruby or RoR is shit; only to consider #Elixir's creator is a former heavy Ruby user :).

@mlliarm just FYI, there are already #Elixir -based #ActivityPub servers, Pleroma for social nedia, Mobilizon for community events, etc.
@mlliarm @tetrislife Also there is a backend written in Go - https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial
Just FYI
@tetrislife oh alright, thanks ! I don't think I'll change server (again), I like mathstodon's \(\LaTeX\) support too much & being in touch with a large math community. I'll check Pleroma though out of curiosity, as I've heard it earlier.
