Why you should consider Web Assembly
summary
WebAssembly runs native-like code in the browser and the demo shows a Rust workflow that compiles to .wasm using wasm-pack + wasm-bindgen and the target wasm32-unknown-unknown, packages the output as an npm module and calls it from plain JavaScript. Examples: a Rust Game of Life with canvas interactions and toggle callbacks; real-world uses include image/video DSP filters and an AutoCAD viewer compiled via Emscripten. Blazor shows .NET DLLs running on Mono in WebAssembly.
