That was uncalled for.

Firefox requires 4GB of memory to build.
Chromium requires 8GB of memory to build.
Android requires 16GB of memory to build.

If you want to work on big projects, you WILL need a decent 
computer.

I think 4GB for a modern programming language's implementation is 
not an unreasonable requirement, even if it could be brought down 
in the future. Especially considering that you can't even buy a 
new laptop today with less than 4GB of RAM, and 3GB is becoming 
the norm for smartphones.
