This Talk explores the unlikely friendship between React and Rust, showcasing how they can be used together. The speaker demonstrates live coding and explains the process of calling Rust functions from JavaScript using the Tauri framework. The Talk also covers retrieving system information and disk details using Rust's sysinfo library. The speaker emphasizes the importance of serializability and showcases a button and SD card reader as examples of practical applications.

The Unlikely Friendship Between React and Rust

WebAssembly is a fast, secure, and portable technology that challenges JavaScript's dominance on the web. It allows for the use of legacy code and expands the scope of functions that can be performed on various devices. WebAssembly can be used for image processing and machine learning, and it has potential applications in UI component libraries. Startups are already incorporating WebAssembly into their web applications, and optimization and performance are key advantages of this technology.

<p>WASM has taken over the web-development scene in the past few years. It is a language that can be run by the web platform alongside with Javascript. Being treated as a target language, a variety of low-level, statically-typed languages such as C++ and Rust can be compiled to WASM. Thus, a variety of complex, computationally intense applications can now be tackled through readily available web applications. Demos of 2 such applications are shown in the presentation and a side-to-side comparison is done next to JS code.</p>
