Build Apps with Rust and WebAssembly: Deploy Anywhere with No Installation

💡Rust is an excellent language for writing WebAssembly, providing low-level control and high-level ergonomics.

✨Rust-generated WebAssembly has no extra bloat like a garbage collector, resulting in faster page loads.

🚀WebAssembly allows you to create native performing apps with the ease of web distribution.

🔧Rust has a lively ecosystem of compatible libraries that can help you hit the ground running with your WebAssembly apps.

💼WebAssembly and Rust provide excellent performance for front-end web apps, making them a great choice for building web-based spreadsheets or data visualization tools.

What is Rust?

—Rust is a systems programming language that provides memory safety, high performance, and concurrency without sacrificing safety. It is designed to be fast, safe, and concurrent, making it a great choice for writing web applications.

What is WebAssembly?

—WebAssembly is a low-level virtual machine that is designed to run in modern web browsers. It allows you to write code in languages such as Rust, C++, and C# and compile them to a portable binary format that can be executed in the browser with near-native performance.

Why should I use Rust and WebAssembly for app development?

—Rust and WebAssembly provide high performance, portability, and safety for app development. They allow you to write apps that can be deployed anywhere without the need for installation, providing a seamless and efficient user experience.

What are the benefits of using Rust with WebAssembly?

—Rust provides low-level control and high-level ergonomics, making it an excellent language for writing WebAssembly. Rust-generated WebAssembly has no extra bloat like a garbage collector, resulting in faster page loads and better performance.

Can I use existing JavaScript libraries with Rust and WebAssembly?

—Yes, you can use existing JavaScript libraries with Rust and WebAssembly. WebAssembly has bi-directional JavaScript support, which means you can access the npm ecosystem and integrate JavaScript libraries into your Rust and WebAssembly apps.
