2: - (specifically, Rust to WASM is going to be a thing and open up very low-level front-end code to way more people) - Glimmer's gonna be using Rust to WASM if everything continues to go well. - Fine-grained parallelism with SharedArrayBuffer is here,

3: (on top of the existing transferrables), and DOMChangeList is going to make it possible to batch up a whole bunch of DOM work in a worker and apply it all at once. Glimmer is going to have a polyfill for this that uses Rust-to-WASM pretty soon.

4/4: So much awesome! It's a great time to be building web infrastructure. The richness of the primitives we have available would have shocked the pants off of 2005 (or even 2010)

The reservation I have with Rust on the web is that it’s a highly complex language that only really good people can actually write. Web developers usually are not among this group.
-
I think I'm just going to go ahead and reject this statement ;)
-
Don’t get me wrong, I love Rust and would like to use it for everything, but the web devs I know are already struggling with ember’s observers, how will they understand borrowing a context?
-
The original tweet was literally about me (a rust core team member) using Rust to build core infrastructure that people can build on top of (without knowing rust). Did you notice that context?
-
Yes, I was just commenting on Rust on the Web in general. Of course, someone like you can do it.
-
The web is (and has been) Turing complete. And frankly, if you can write rust code at all, I'm not too worried about you.

Yehuda, what do you think about the future of languages like Python, Node.js, and Ruby? I see a trend towards more powerful languages like Go, Rust, Elixir, etc.
-
I think scripting languages are still really important. I hope a next generation of scripting languages comes to pass.
-
Thanks Yehuda for your answer :)

@glimmerjs has the potential to become the *Firefox Quantum* of frontend frameworks?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I've been waffling on whether spend time learning Go or Rust for literally *months*. Now I'm all in to learn Rust.
-
Is there a beginners book on Rust ?
