If speed does not matter then you don't need a system level
language. You could use Java, C# or some dynamic language with
more convenience.
Memory is not so cheap on servers, you also need to take into
account that any pressure on memory will increase network traffic
because you push data out of the in-memory caches.
Server prices on Amazon:
