I think the point is Rust is a very good language in its own right. The fact it compiles to WASM is a great feather in the cap. They are able to deliver a demo in the browser for something that would normally require downloading and compiling. I think that’s pretty cool to show for a project people wouldn’t normally be able to try out with such low barrier of entry.
