Sorry, I was just responding to your question on JS compilation and webpack. This post is obviously overengineering things, it’s literally submitting a html form and obviously we can do that with plain old html. The point, however, is that it’s a small scale demonstration of how to run rust on the web, not that you should make phishing websites out of rust and wasm. Are there actual use cases for wasm? Yes, particularly for performance critical applications. Games, ML, etc, there’s already a lot of wasm deployed today. Since wasm is here to stay, the natural follow-up question is can we compile to it so I can use <insert favourite language> on the web, and that’s the motivation behind stuff like rust/wasm. NodeJS made it possible to run JS on both front and backend, but nobody actually wants to write JS. So now people are trying to run <favourite nonJS language> on both instead. It’s still in its infancy, so really not recommended for anything other than prototyping and fun exploration, but there’s potential here.
