2 GB of RAM for a chat server?!!?

From what I've heard here from people using the Slack desktop client, 2GB is now normal for a chat client

I think it is perfectly reasonable for a client to use more RAM than a server, having to display a GUI and all. I'm thinking of IRC servers vs. clients. (Certainly not 2 GB, but that's another matter.)

There are a few alternative server implementations under development. Personally I'm hopeful for Dendrite (written in Go): https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite
