I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

A standard Docker container with a NodeJS/PHP/Python app is usually around 200-300 MB (yes really), the OpenJDK JVM is around a hundred MB, but a fully statically compiled rust binary that doesn’t even depend on libc is just a couple MB and can be deployed as a tiny distroless Docker container.
It’s a lot heavier than your 8kb C++ executable but it’s nothing compared to what is required to deploy anything else.
Why would they do that?
