Rewrite the web with Rust and Web Assembly
summary
Shows concrete Rust-to-Wasm projects: a Rust module in WordPress, pixel‑by‑pixel Canvas image filters, and WebAudio DSP running as .wasm bytecode in the browser. Reports real speedups — up to about 10× faster on hotspots — with smaller payloads and cross‑platform modules that run on mobile and server. Tooling and packaging use npm‑style modules and bytecode distribution; memory is manual and deterministic (no garbage collector), and the demos run live in-browser.
