Maybe you don't need Rust and WASM to speed up your JS

- empath75 8y agoReading all of that makes fighting with the rust borrow checker sound like a walk in the park in comparison. Does anyone think that stringifying a function and re evaluating it in order to manipulate the compiler sounds like a good way to write code?
- brohee 8y agoYeah the main benefit of WASM is being able to open up more languages to in-browser execution. The fact that some of the languages can be a lot better than JavaScript for some purposes is icing on the cake...
- IshKebab 8y agoThis was all discussed before. The TL;DR conclusion was: yes, you can get very fast javascript, but only if you are a V8 expert and know how to avoid the performance cliffs. If you want reliable performance, WASM is a better bet.
