But Go’s “memory footprint”—the amount of computer memory it 
demands while running Magic Pocket—was too high for the massive 
storage systems the company was trying to build. Dropbox needed a 
language that would take up less space in memory, because so much 
memory would be filled with all those files streaming onto the 
machine. So, in the middle of this two-and-half-year project, 
they switched to Rust on the Diskotech machines.
