Why do you want to script with Rust?

• modeless 13y ago
  The same reason people want asm.js: speed, and avoiding the many problems of JavaScript.

  Javascript is a terrible language, even though Rust is experimental it would be a big improvement. And it does have attractive aspects as a language. More broadly, breaking the iron grip Javascript has on client-side development would be wonderful and Mozilla is the last stumbling block in front of this goal.

    Insofar as scripting languages go, Racket/Scheme would also be a nice addition. After all that is what Eich was going for when he created JavaScript. He wanted a language with scheme-like semantics but other forces wanted it to have a C-style syntax.
