Calling this a "real world application" is a big stretch imo...Javascript's problems really come to the forefront when implementing complex logic in the backend - Rust's excellent type system helps a lot with that.
However, if you have an app that has a lot of interactivity, using the web_sys API is a huge pain that basically caused me to end development on my side project. Working with DOM APIs in Javascript is so much easier than working with them in Rust.
- orthecreedence 4y agoI'm in a sweet spot for something like Tauri: I have an app that does a lot of cryptography and dealing with binary data in browserland is horrible. Embedding rust and leaning on it for the business logic and crypto stuff while only relegating the UI to html/javascript has been a huge success for me. I think the rust frontend ecosystem has a long way to go before it can really compete with javascript and the many existing frontend frameworks.
