        @any_user depends what you need it for? Rust has a pretty steep learning curve (for me, certainly, not knowing C++). the wasm bits work reasonably well, and getting set up is not too painful. seems like the stuff it does, it does well enough.

      @any_user but the big thing is: is your problem that your JS code doesn't have native compiled performance? the bottleneck is likely to be elsewhere (network, browser API calls etc). and even if it isn't, I'd likely first reach for web workers etc to parallelise the problem.

    @any_user so this project was definitely chosen because I wanted to mess around with the tech, rather than because the tech solved an existing problem. but it is cool tech & I can see myself using it in the future - but that's mainly because I like Rust.
