WebAssembly beyond the browser
summary
Concrete examples show Rust functions compiled to WebAssembly and called from JavaScript, with a repo and starter that builds a classify.wasm and runs an app on port 3000 using npm run dev. Runtimes mentioned include WasmEdge and Wasmtime and a lightweight QuickJS JS runtime. Claims: near‑native speed via AOT, sandboxed safety, smaller serverless footprint. A demo runs TensorFlow Lite mobile net inference deployed as a serverless function and a pattern for NodeJS + Rust compiled to WASM is provided.
