a front-end language
I love rust but this requires killing the web app and using basic html. which i'm also pro.
Web assembly isn't quite the same as a js frontend though, is it?
It's typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no?
I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.
Yes, it's largely for SPAs, but you said "requires killing the web app", and most web apps are SPAs.
