Craig's Amazing Rust Spectacular
summary
Converts a TypeScript lattice‑Boltzmann aerodynamic simulation that takes 32 ms per frame into Rust, compiles it to WebAssembly with wasm-bindgen + wasm-pack, and uses a Float64Array shared memory view plus BigInt bindings to pass data to a canvas renderer. The Rust terminal build measures ~13 ms per simulation step (below the 16 ms target for 60 fps) and the WASM build runs in the browser; demos are flaky, and source‑level debugging and tooling for the WASM/Rust boundary remain poor.
