> even though meaningful use case is yet to be shown, but there is chance it will be found I don't get the Rust-port-hate, but I think you nailed the JS case with this comment. A few years ago my immediate reaction to JavaScript ports (or equivalents) used to be something roughly akin to, "what the eff is the point of that?!?" Still, enough times now I've found myself needing one of these things later on - the most recent example being something that can play Amiga mod files in a browser - that I've become a bit more broad-minded. Plus, of course these things can be fun learning exercises and, after all, why not? Really, one of the most canonical examples, for me, has to be Google Docs, which is basically a cut-down Microsoft Office in a browser. Back in the day I thought this was a terrible idea but, you know what? I've used Google Docs quite a lot over the past few years. It's still hasn't replaced MS Office, and probably never will because (as far as I can see) Excel simply can't be beat. Our main current Google Docs use case is running retros. We have a few remote team members, plus a fairly strong WFH culture, so a shared GDocs drawing makes a great canvas/virtual whiteboard. Granted it's not as good as a dedicated virtual whiteboard app, but it's a very cost effective way of giving everyone write access to a shared drawing/post-it surface on an occasional/periodic basis. The problem with virtual whiteboards is they tend to charge per user, which makes sense if everyone uses them all the time, but becomes cost prohibitive when most people only need the app once every couple of weeks. There are also plenty of examples for me that still don't seem to make much sense (online IDEs) but, whatever, some people clearly do, and that's cool.
