arent they building servers in Go and Rust ?

The Python server is a memory hog, and instead of rewriting it in a more performant language they have decided to scale horizontally instead.
How is that feasible for the average guy who wants to run it on the their own server?

After a $30 million funding round we should be seeing a lot better from them in the next few years. That python server ought to go.
Dendrite is literally rewriting it in a more performant language

The average guy likely doesn't host for thousands of people
The python server already has trouble if you subscribe to large rooms. I'm all for promoting Matrix (it's a great project), but the default server has warts and nobody is served by trying to hide them.
Seems you've mixed something up. Dendrite is a matrix.org project, just like Synapse. Conduit is written by Timo Kösters who is currently employed by Famedly and is on good terms with both matrix.org and Element staff. They frequently cooperate.
