Interesting. A Spring Boot webapp (with the runtime dependency injection framework, etc. etc.) serving some static content and exposing some REST endpoints works fine with 32 MB RAM. Is it really orders of magnitude more than other languages, e.g. will a Go-based webapp consume less than 300 kBytes of RAM?
I do believe that number will go down in the coming releases; things like valhalla will allow us to pack data representations much more efficiently after all. the only things that really benefit from object identity are behaviors, not data.
