I've been experimenting with WebAssembly as a compilation target, and I'm really impressed with the results. It can really help speed up modern languages.

I agree, WebAssembly has huge potential. The ability to run code at near-native speeds in the browser is really exciting.

Can anyone recommend good libraries for working with WebAssembly in Rust?

@sarahjones I had good success with the `wasm-bindgen` project. It makes it easy to integrate Rust and WebAssembly together.

Is it just me, or is the tooling for WebAssembly still pretty painful to use?

@doctorwho I agree, the tooling definitely needs work. But I think things will improve as more people start using WebAssembly.

What do people think about using WebAssembly for server-side applications? Do you think it has a future there?

@simone I think there's definitely potential for WebAssembly on the server side. It could allow you to write code in multiple languages, and then run it all in one place.

I'm curious to know what people think about the memory management in WebAssembly. Do you think it's sufficient for most uses?
