There is also:
I'm not too keen on Piefed because it's written in Python, which is multiple times less than Rust (what Lemmy is written in) for a server back-end application. It just seems like a waste of electricity or adding more carbon to the atmosphere than it should, for a widely-used server application.
Edit: "less [performant]" - missed a word there.
I've come off seeing a lot of people express dissent in a rather acidic manner, so I just appreciate that you have stated an opposing view in a way that is informative, and a lot less "anyone who disagrees is [bad thing]", "I will say that anyone who approves of [thing I don't] masturbates to it as a way to be hurtful and insulting", "you disagree? I will position you as overly emotional and myself as the realist by saying 'Cope'", etc.
You've made me curious about various programming languages' efficiency, specifically in how choice of language might affect resource consumption. Not just CPU cycles but carbon and electricity. And I'm actually going to look into it instead of feeling put off enough by vitriol that I just wash my hands of the entire disagreement and walk away. +1, this is how you disagree online.
Yes, I may be venting my feelings about seeing too many people being mean online.
That was a nice comment
