This is my first time hearing about WebAssembly! I'm excited to learn more about how it works and how I can use it with Rust.

WebAssembly (WASM) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. It's designed as a portable target for the compilation of high-level languages like Rust! I've been using it in production for a while now, and it's great.

WebAssembly has so many amazing benefits, like incredibly fast performance and near-native code execution speeds. It's truly the future of web technologies!

@wasm_lover It's especially great when used with Rust and the rustwasm project. With it, you can compile your Rust projects down to WASM.

@rust_wasm_sm Yes, I recently got into an interesting project called `wasm-pack`. It makes it easy to build projects in Rust destined for use in web environments, and then packages them up for use as npm packages.

@wasm_lover I've been using WASM in my projects to increase developer productivity. It allows my developers to build complex logic with high-level languages, while still running in web browsers at near-native speeds.

I'm planning to create an open-source project that teaches WASM principles and how to use it with Rust. I can't wait to see how it takes off.

I think WASM has a great future in the open-source community. It allows for others to run Rust code in a browser with ease, and no need for complicated installs/setup.

Totally agree, @cassons -- that's the beauty of it! We can have the same great Rust libraries and tools, but this time in the browser. Truly game-changing.

I love how WASM is changing what's possible with Rust. I'm a firm believer that Rust will completely change the web development ecosystem for the better. W...`
