What does "modern" mean in this context?

Its written from the ground up and has a clean foundation (which is not the case in vanilla minecraft server code). We also want to use cool modern features like multi-threading or the rust language which is a modern language designed to fix mistakes from older languages

I think they are being sarcastic because the vanilla Minecraft server is heavily single threaded.
