Ask HN: Can I make an entire web with web assembly and rust at this point?

2 pointsby anon23anonover 2 years ago
Even if I could would I want to do this or is it still advised you only use WASM for more of the heavy lifting calculations type stuff?

You <i>can</i>. There are an increasing (if not bewildering) number of Rust-based web frameworks. Some even now come with fine-grained reactivity (a la Svelte, Solid et al) and server-side rendering of components. Chris Biscardi covers a range of them in this yt playlist: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLWtPciJ1UMuBpRg1KbXqxE5WOdY9ze37S">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLWtPciJ1UMuBpRg1KbXqx...</a><p>Whether you <i>should</i> or not I have no idea. I&#x27;ve put out a few appeals in Rust circles for examples of substantial real world use, but haven&#x27;t come up with anything that convincing. It looks to me like it&#x27;s early days yet, with many competing projects exploring the design space, but none being truly established.<p>I could be wrong and maybe there are some using these frameworks for real work. But it all smells a bit experimental to me.

There&#x27;s frameworks you can use like : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yew.rs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yew.rs</a><p>An example for Yew can be found here : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jetli&#x2F;rust-yew-realworld-example-app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jetli&#x2F;rust-yew-realworld-example-app</a>
