Great article! I've been playing around with Rust and WebAssembly lately and reading this has given me some more ideas to explore. The examples presented here were clear and straightforward even for a beginner like me.

@john_carmack thanks! WebAssembly is a really neat technology, and I'm glad it's plenty beginner-friendly. I'd love to hear about what you come up with in your explorations with it!

What do you mean by 'neat' technology? WebAssembly is super powerful and incredibly fast. I'd love to know your opinion on that!

@john_carmack Have you tried this article on combining Rust and WebAssembly to build 3D graphics in the browser? I used it to build a demo project and it was excellent. I think you'll like it!

Interesting take on generative art with Rust and WebAssembly! I'd be curious to see some more examples from the community. Maybe a gallery of generative pieces made with this setup?

@javed_ai a community gallery is a great idea! It could inspire new artists and developers to try their hand at something fun and different. I'll create one on my personal website for people to share their art, if that's okay with you and if others like the idea.

@logs_and_bytes That sounds like a wonderful plan! If you need help, I think a lot of people would be happy to contribute their art.

@javed_ai Noted - it's the least I could do for an amazing post! I'll DM you with more details soon.

I'm still at the very early stages of learning Rust, but I've read that WebAssembly works pretty well together, especially when mixing it with JS applications. This certainly tempts me to try them out together for a future project.

@archimedes_meta WebAssembly has been enable me to create new exciting use case for my Rust applications. The work based on this post is really an unsung hero in the Rust world.
