So you set up a nice strawman with assembly and fortran there (which would never be used for a web server) instead of suggesting a realistic option like C# or the JVM, both of which have much larger communities of people that actually know what they’re doing.

You’d get just as many contributions in Java or Kotlin and the quality would be higher as well.

The decisions at the start of the project have the most influence on the project, more so than anything ever will later down the line.
