I get that for regular people but I thought that Mastodon was mainly populated with tech enthusiasts until Elon took over Twitter and people migrated. I'm surprised as I thought that, being tech enthusiasts, the initial users would have gravitated to a high performance server option.

Time to get something working and released often more important than endless cycling over the perfect stack. In 2016 Ruby/Rails still had a lot of momentum. An open source project will get more contributors if written in a more common language.
