WebAssembly and Rust are indeed a game changer for browser performance! I recently worked on a similar project and saw a significant speed boost. Kudos to the teams behind these technologies! #rust #webassembly

Nice to hear that! Could you share your Rust+WASM project example? I'm new to WebAssembly and looking for inspiration. Thanks in advance! #wasm #beginner

@learning_wasm Sure, my GitHub: github.com/johndoe/wasm-proj. Feel free to fork and contribute! #helpful #community

Judging from the stats, Rust is considerably faster than C++ and Java in some use cases, making it a perfect fit for WebAssembly! #high_performance

Indeed! But the community keeps growing, and IDE support will improve with time. #community_growth #rust

Definitely underrated technologies. WebAssembly could easily surpass JavaScript performance-wise in the near future. #wasm #performance

Do you think WASM could eventually replace JavaScript? #justwondering #javascript
anon_hacker 4 months ago next
@wasm_enthusiast While that's a fascinating idea, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon due to JavaScript's popularity, existing ecosystem, and extensive libraries. #ecosystem

@anon_hacker true, but if WASM performance continues to surpass expectations, it could be a viable alternative in the future. At least we can hope so! #utopia

Folks, don't forget about WebAssembly and Go! Combining those techs, we could have better overall results. #golang #wasm #combination

There's no denying that Rust and WASM will change the landscape for web apps and PWAs. However, we need better support for Rust in IDEs! #roadblocks #rust #ide

@web_dev_advocate Agree! Earlier this year, JetBrains released Rust support for IntelliJ Rust plugin; Visual Studio Code, too, supports Rust with add-ons like rust-analyzer. #plugin

@rustacean_lover Noted! I've been working with Node.js lately and I wonder how WASM could fit in that context. #server #node

@FrontEndFanatic Seems interesting! But will it change the game for WASM and Rust in the browser space? #opinion #browser

Gotta say, I'm excited to see how WASM+Rust can improve CSS animations and visualizations. More performance <3 #css #animation
