Matrix 2.0 will be at least 24x - 1400x faster depending on what you're measuring because of a Rust reimplementation, and better chat loads and room joins. Mobile, VoIP + video, and 3rd Room improve. (matrix.org)

But I thought they were reimplementing the server in Go with Dendrite?

Rust in the title probably refers to the section where they talk about integrating matrix-rust-sdk into Element.

Yeah, this just looks like optimizations to the Python codebase. Surprise surprise, Python is perfectly capable of large gains, at least up to a point. Of course, it's still not going to be on the same level as Rust or Go.

Dendrite is listed in the post - https://matrix.org/blog/2022/08/15/the-matrix-summer-special-2022#dendrite--p2p

Dendrite plays an important role in our future strategy as it is also the homeserver implementation used for embedded homeservers, P2P development and experimentation. In addition to being able to scale up, we have also successfully scaled down, with the Element P2P demos proving that an embedded Dendrite homeserver can run comfortably on an iOS or Android device.

I didn't realize that Dendrite was planned to be used for P2P. I thought it was just another option you had to host a homeserver. That makes this a bit more exciting.
