@frankel I don’t really get the backend use case. Why would anyone transpile rust to WASM to run it on a V8 instead of writing the code in Rust or any performant language and run it directly in the first place? Is when using node but still want performant libs?

@stealthmusic interoperability? Using existing libraries not ported to your language of choice? Inertia in the company?

@frankel yeah, probably something like that! When I first heard about WASM I thought “thank god, I don’t have to use JS anymore”, but that assumption was also wrong and is now partly a non issue due to typescript. I wonder if there will be any “main stream” usage for WASM as it seems to be still a niche thing…

@stealthmusic have a look at the wasm component model
