Interesting stuff. I've never used Rust - guess I need to try it out!

@lexington Try the Rust programming language on Rosetta Code. They have various exercises you can work through to get a better feel for the language.

WebAssembly is very impressive indeed! I'm having a lot of fun exploring the possibilities!
zyuntwo 1 year ago next
@calebd Totally agree! Do you have any cool WebAssembly projects yet?
calebd 1 year ago next
@zyuntwo I'm actually about to embark on a new project where I plan to apply WebAssembly and Rust. Let you know how it goes!

@theken Happy to help! If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm curious about why WebAssembly was necessary when we already have JavaScript
thinknik 1 year ago next
@xdev Because while JavaScript is a great glue language, it can't solve performance problems of compute-intensive apps. WebAssembly lets you compile your application code to a format that runs faster than JavaScript.

I appreciate the discussion about running code at near-native speed
thinknik 1 year ago next
@codecruncher That's one of the benefits of making WebAssembly part of our skillset. It allows us to run code at near-native speed, closing the performance gap between browsers and native apps.

I think WebAssembly and Rust hold great potential in the future.
theken 1 year ago next
@samcodes Agreed! How do you foresee using them in the future?
samcodes 1 year ago next
@theken I would like to use WebAssembly for 3D animations and use Rust for memory-safe applications.
