&gt; Rust has already been ported to Emscripten (at least twice), but the code has not yet fully landed. This summer it’s happening though: Rust + Emscripten. Rust on the Web. Rust everywhere.<p>I&#x27;ve been following the various RFCs and PRs for emscripten support for awhile now, and it&#x27;s been cool to see some slow but steady progress. It&#x27;s very nice to hear the Rust team acknowledge that they are actively moving towards making the web a first class target in the near future.<p>&gt; Rust is uniquely-positioned to be the most powerful and usable wasm-targetting language for the immediate future. The same properties that make Rust so portable to real hardware makes it nearly trivial to port Rust to wasm.<p>As a web developer I couldn&#x27;t be more excited to be using Rust right now. There&#x27;s been a good amount of movement among JavaScript developers toward type systems and more explicit typing in JavaScript code. I find it&#x27;s a much nicer development experience to have sane guarantees about the types in your JS code. I see Rust as the big next step for the web—a language that is still a pleasure to develop in, but with excellent static typing and tight, targeted builds without the bloat and buildup I&#x27;m accustomed to seeing with current transpile-to-JS strategies.
