The title is highly misleading for some theoretical "exploration".

Ok, we've put a question mark up there to make it more explorationy.

As the author, this sounds good to me! I'll probably even change the actual title to match. I originally was going to make it a question mark and the only reason I didn't is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... when I think the answer is probably "could probably be somewhat done" rather than "no".

More like “barebones, in-memory, English-only Twitter clone on one machine”. Edit: Still a nice writeup!

What strikes you as English-only about it?

As in the instance will only be tuned to serve one language?

My bad - not English, but ASCII. The assumed max tweet size is in bytes rather than (UTF) characters.
