Rust and the Web Platform: A Rookie’s Guide
summary
Shows that Rust compiles to WebAssembly and runs in browsers, using wasm-bindgen and wasm-pack to pass functions and publish as NPM modules. Demonstrates a built Conway Game of Life as a performance test and explains why it fails to compile on a 4 GB laptop, plus an autogenerated README for the exported TypeScript types. Emphasizes concrete build steps, tool names, and where things currently break and still need contributors.
