I assumed this was a side-effect of devirtualization. Obviously indirections are slower, so if the compiler can look at a dynamic call and realize that there's only 1 possible function it could be calling right there, that's a win

You can actually just compile by setting $env:RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+crt-static" and it will completely drop the dependency on vcruntime.dll. Rust is basically only pulling in memcpy/memset/etc. Not really things

There may be a little more to it, but sadly after setting it up for a couple hours, it seems the TrySetLockScreenImageAsync method always returns failure from a non-UWP app :( If anyone else wants to tinker with it https://gist.g

I guess in theory you could use any language that can be compiled into asm.js, although you'd need to make a lot of bindings to their JS API
