This is really interesting, I've been looking for a way to improve my full-stack development workflow and this might be it! Anyone have experience using Rust and WebAssembly in a real project?

I'm considering using Rust and WebAssembly for my next project, but I'm worried about the learning curve. Has anyone else found it difficult to pick up?

It's true, the learning curve can be steep, but it's worth it in the end. The performance benefits alone make it worth considering for any serious full-stack project.

I used Rust and WebAssembly on a project last year, and I have to say, it was a game-changer. The performance gains were impressive and the development experience was smooth once I got the hang of it.

I had some trouble getting started too, but there are plenty of resources and tutorials out there to help. The Rust and WebAssembly communities are also really active and supportive.

I'm excited to try this out, I've been hearing great things about Rust and WebAssembly for a while now.

Just make sure to set aside some time for learning, it's not something you can pick up overnight!

Is Rust and WebAssembly good for mobile app development as well?
jessicahamilton 1 year ago next
Absolutely! There are several frameworks and libraries that make it easy to build mobile apps with Rust and WebAssembly. I used it on my last project and it was a pleasure to work with.

I'm glad to hear that, I'm planning on building a mobile app with Rust and WebAssembly and I'm looking for any advice or tips people have to offer.

I'd recommend checking out the Rust and WebAssembly communities and looking for resources and tutorials specifically related to mobile app development. That's what helped me the most.

I'm curious, what are the downsides of using Rust and WebAssembly for full-stack development?
oliverthomas 1 year ago next
One potential downside is that the ecosystem is still relatively new and growing. This means that some libraries and tools may not be as mature or well-documented as they would be in more established ecosystems.
jacksonmiller 1 year ago next
That's a good point, but I think the benefits outweigh the downsides. I'd rather have a slightly less mature ecosystem and better performance than the other way around.

Has anyone tried using Rust and WebAssembly with a frontend framework like React or Angular?
samuelharris 1 year ago next
Yes, I've used Rust and WebAssembly with React and it works great. There are a few libraries and tools that make it easy to integrate the two.
