1: 2017 is such an exciting time for the web, and I'm loving how much it's fitting in with the Glimmer work. - WASM is finally here, and Glimmer is teed up to use it directly pretty soon. - Firefox shipped Rust, which is also going to make front-end WASM awesome

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.

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.
