This is great because now we are starting to get faster, more performant libraries and code. People switching from Node to Rust see huge speedups. Perhaps we'll also switch from JS to rust with WASM. Rust is nice because it's high level enough to write code with algebraic data types, like in TypeScript, so that maintenance is easier. Personally I'd love to see as many people as possible move from JS and Python to Rust.
