I'm still baffled by the need for a boilerplate Javascript file to call into rust. Why can't I just include the wasm directly from HTML? Seems like someone's feelings will be hurt when they realize that many developers want to skip JavaScript and just work with wasm.

committee is working on a DOM-access-directly-from-WASM spec. but for now we still need to use things like wasm-bindgen to generate the boilerplate needed for us. It's still fast, tho. Have you tried https://sandspiel.club/ https://sandspiel.club/ ?

The browser API requires it.

  It's just two lines of JavaScript to call into wasm: 1 line to load the wasm, another to call a function in it. This adds latency, and is easily replaced by a single tag.
