Seems like they're building other things in rust, about time for the server? Seems like bloated servers are the biggest downside of matrix. Does anyone more educated on this topic know why it's not a thing?
Because Synapse is already widely used. The Matrix foundation is also building Dendrite, which is in beta and written in Go.
Conduit is another server, in Rust https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit
Dendrite has been in Beta for so long.
I remember installing Synapse 6 years ago thinking "whatever, I'll reinstall it anyway".

Covering up a bloated protocol by a faster language has its limits though, and in the case of Matrix, well, a faster language only buys you little
