Synapse does a lot more than Prosody though. If a Prosody server hosting a MUC goes down, the MUC is down. If the Matrix homeserver that created a room goes down, the room's still there as long as there are other servers participating. That decentralization does have its tradeoffs.

It's also the first Matrix server, so there's that. Its replacement is in progress: https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite

Oh nice. That should have a lot less footprint indeed, both in terms of CPU usage and # of dependencies. (Not entirely sure about memory usage, but that should also be better for a compiled language.)
