    The movie is based on one short chapter in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

    The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London. Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.

    They mention that trace amounts are found in Sucralose off-the-shelf, and that Sucralose when digested and metabolized creates sucralose-6-acetate, which causes it to be well above the safe limit directed by the EU.

    “To put this in context, the European Food Safety Authority has a threshold of toxicological concern for all genotoxic substances of 0.15 micrograms per person per day,” Schiffman says.
    “Our work suggests that the trace amounts of sucralose-6-acetate in a single, daily sucralose-sweetened drink exceed that threshold. And that’s not even accounting for the amount of sucralose-6-acetate produced as metabolites after people consume sucralose.”

    The web world has grown a lot over the last decade, nearly every language has a highly performant web framework available (or a dozen). Go with what you are most comfortable with, if you want to try something new, then Rust with something like Rocket.rs (hard mode), Python (normal mode), or Node.js (relatively easy mode).

    Overall though, I suggest Elixir with Phoenix, but that's a totally different paradigm than most people are comfortable with, but being totally different may be something you're interested in.

    Just as with the major twitter clients being borked after all of this, I think the major reddit application developers should take the already existing API they have built in their applications, and create a competing service. This could be a great way to really grow as a developer and moving forward, just a drop in replacement server for their apps.

    Is this technically feasible? Yes. Would this be hard to fully pull off, absolutely. High risk (involvement) with definitely high rewards.

    I should have made it more clear, it's better than the current desktop version, not as good functionally as .compact.

    I will say, the new mobile web version of Reddit they just rolled out is far superior to the desktop web version of reddit. Loads quickly, has a nice layout, and is actually useable. They need to just expand the mobile version as the default for desktop since it actually seems to work.
