Rust in the Browser for Javascripters:New Frontiers,New Possibilities
summary
Rust compiles to wasm and emits a ready NPM package with real TypeScript bindings, letting JavaScript call into Rust via a shared Uint8Array memory and tiny pointers instead of copying big objects. Examples include a Game of Life with exhaustive pattern matching and generated enums and an extremely fast NES emulator whose same code compiles natively or to the web. Claims: zero‑cost abstractions, threads without data races, small payloads compared to typical Go wasm outputs.
