WebAssembly and languages compiled to JS make it immaterial.
- millstone 10y agoI'm not sure how. WebAssembly is more limited than JavaScript (e.g. no access to DOM), and also more limited than native code (e.g. much more limited threading story).
- uryga 10y agoI thought they were working on adding DOM stuff too?
- stymaar 10y agoThey are. And they are also working on having full multi-threading (thanks to SharedArrayBuffer).
- cryptarch 10y agoI wonder how long after the WebAssembly DOM API becomes stable tbe first Rust-based "server and client written in one language" frameworks start popping up.
- sametmax 10y agoIt has the potential to do so, but I'm waiting to see it for real before calling it. Right now it's just not the case.
