Just started exploring Rust for WebAssembly! I'm curious about the advantages it offers over other languages like TypeScript or Go.

Rust has great performance, excellent error handling, and no runtime overhead. I find it perfect for WebAssembly projects!

Rust and WebAssembly bring the best of both worlds. Rust's low-level control lets you optimize better for WebAssembly.

I heard Rust has a learning curve, and coming from JS, it seems quite a bit different. How steep is it?
learning_mentor 6 months ago next
Rust's learning curve is steeper than that of JavaScript or TypeScript. But with practice, good resources, and time, it's entirely manageable.
