LightBend is well-known in the Scala community; it is not surprising to see their interest in Rust.

Rust and React, amazing combination! If you're passionate about these technologies, this is a great opportunity.

I don't think React + Rust is an amazing combination. Rust isn't widely used for web development and might slow down progress.

@reactActually I disagree. Rust is gaining popularity and its performance benefits make it a compelling option for web development.

Rust and React really complement each other for building solid web applications. Interested to see what LightBend builds with this stack.
