As someone wishing to change careers is moving into Wasm development a solid move? I've been hearing more about it over the last six months but I don't have much knowledge in the browser application arena.
- Hydraulix989 8y agoI think it’s still too early. Right now, JavaScript is the language of choice because it’s easy to prototype in and more importantly hire developers for. I don’t see any startups putting in the massive costs in terms of time and labor to port their JS codebases to Rust any time soon. Slack doesn’t get THAT much better than it is now in JS. Wasm might be used in the future for easy cross platform mobile apps and desktop apps, but for web, unless you’re doing something high performance like 3D gaming, it doesn’t really matter.
