@ -81,10 +81,10 @@ Looking forward, the things I think could be beneficial to address are:
`wasm-bindgen` or `wasm-pack`.
- Comparisons to Typescript and Neon
- Is there a development or performance benefit that comes from using Rust instead of Typescript?
WASM might execute faster, but Rust might be more tedious to develop. It would be useful to port
an existing (small) application to Rust and see what the differences are. That said, while
benchmarking WASM vs. Javascript is at least theoretically possible to do in a systematic
manner, evaluating the developer experience is like a case-by-case determination.
Took some time to learn Typescript since the last post, and while it's possible that WASM might
execute faster, I'm not sure that Rust offers enough of a benefit to justify the significantly
more complex setup. It would be useful to port an existing (small) application to Rust so that
other developers can see a representative example of each and make a decision for themselves.
- Instead of embedding Rust in Electron by way of WASM, [Neon] can be used to develop extensions
that run natively and are "glued" to Electron via Javascript. Further investigation to clarify
the pros/cons of each approach would be helpful; are there situations in which WASM offers
