Because Zuck probably told his team to make this a few weeks ago to annoy Musk. Weird ego thing going on.

Python is likely faster to push out an app like this than say rust or even go.

Also why spend time optimising something that will be dead in a few months?

Dead in a few months? Lol this isn’t a Google product

Instagram stories crushed Snap’s DAU, Reels is gobbling up TikTok user-minutes…bleeding other services is what Meta excels at
