Learnable Programming with Rust
summary
Shows a working approach that compiles Rust snippets to WebAssembly so code runs in the browser with a run-button playground connected to mocked services (tokio + mini-redis examples), demonstrates stepwise execution with a slider and recorded state, and uses logging/tracing redirected to the page. Describes a compile-to-WASM service (Docker image + frontend) and notes one CPU VM handles hundreds of thousands of compilation requests per day. Explains dependency linking via multiple WASM modules and the memory-copy limitation that still needs automation.
