Rebuilding in Rust for Good Reason
summary
Shows why teams rebuild parts of JavaScript tooling in Rust for measurable wins in speed and smaller bundles, citing Deno, Turbopack and Apollo Router as real rewrites. Demonstrates hands on use of the Rust Playground, creating a project with cargo new, compiling to an executable and running ./main, plus examples of typed arrays and structs. Claims steep but manageable learning curve and recommends rustlang.org and beginner courses; runtime and memory management are the concrete benefits.
