Next-Generation Programming: Rust & Elm
summary
Compares Rust and Elm on concrete tradeoffs: Rust compiles to native binaries, targets C++-level speed, eliminates memory-safety bugs and data races via the borrow checker, and ships frequent six-week compiler releases backed by Mozilla; Elm targets browser UIs, enforces purity and no runtime exceptions, yields tiny bundles and top Lighthouse scores (tied 99) and shows near-zero production exceptions at NoRedInk since 2015, while Rust-on-WASM produces ~300KB bundles.
