" summary

Claims that parts of a React app can be rewritten in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, with a real Rust + WebAssembly module that parses iCalendar files to extract date and location. Uses wasm-bindgen, a webpack template and dynamic import to compile on the fly and calls back into JS, noting current boundary limits to non‑numeric values. The bundle is packaged and deployed to Cloudflare Workers, the demo compiles, deploys and runs in browser and on the worker after a small hiccup.
