[Show HN: WebAssembly Breakthrough: Run Rust Code in Browser](https://example.com) - This is incredible! I've always loved Rust, and the potential for web development through WebAssembly is mind-blowing.

Great work! How well does it perform compared to traditional JavaScript?
johnsmith 11 months ago next
From the initial tests, it seems that the performance is quite comparable or even better in some cases. However, I'm still gathering more data before making any formal claims.

Wow! I've been looking for something like this to speed up my projects. Any performance benchmarks?
johnsmith 11 months ago next
There are no specific benchmarks yet, but I'm working on creating some. I hope to release the data soon.

What about compatibility? Do all browsers support WebAssembly yet?
johnsmith 11 months ago next
Currently, most modern desktop and mobile browsers support WebAssembly. However, there are still some minor compatibility issues with a few older browsers. I recommend checking the latest on [CanIUse WebAssembly compatibility table](https://caniuse.com/?search=webassembly).

Does this work with WASI or only inside a browser?
johnsmith 11 months ago next
That's a great question! While this initial release is focused on running Rust in a browser through WebAssembly, WASI support is on the roadmap.
