Rust devs push back as Serde project ships precompiled binaries
The precompiled binary is not a sandboxed WASM binary. Despite the name "watt" it has nothing to do with https://github.com/dtolnay/watt . You can look at the actual code to see for yourself.

My first year with Rust: The good, the bad, the ugly
In addition to thiserror and anyhow, our resident superhuman Rust-improving Robot, dtolnay, also developed an experiment in distributing precompiled proc macros as WebAssembly named Watt and, though I never bothered to create a Zulip account so I don't know what was said, I'm told there has been discussion around the idea of implementing something in that vein.

Rust is coming to the Linux kernel
I think when we have Cranelift, Mold, and maybe Watt all working together then compile times will basically be a non-issue. It'll be a few years though.

Backdooring Rust crates for fun and profit
I really like the idea of Watt: https://github.com/dtolnay/watt Run macros in a wasm sandbox so they can't touch anything you don't explicitly allow.

Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
Rust has a rich ecosystem of frameworks and libraries that let you read, parse, and manipulate text files, interact with cloud services and databases, and perform any other job that your project's development workflow may require. And because of its strong typing and tight memory management, you are much less likely to write programs that behave unexpectedly in production.

Learning Rust: A clean start
The previous section was very simple, this section is also very simple but introduces us to cargo which is Rust's package manager, as a JS dev my mind goes straight to NPM.

#2 Rust - Cargo Package Manager
Now, there has to be a place where all these packages come from. Similar to npmjs registry, where all node packages are registered, stored and retrieved, Rust also has something called crates.io where many helpful packages and dependencies are registered.

Underestimating rust for my Project.
The most thrilling aspect has been the joy of writing the backend. It's like every struct, enum, and method in Rust forms this interconnected Multiverse of code , which you can see in crates.io which is best Documentation experience I Ever Had.

Cargo has never frustrated me like npm or pip has. Does Cargo ever get frustrating? Does anyone ever find themselves in dependency hell?
Vendoring your packages was very tedious to even remotely get to work with Cargo. I spent a very long time getting Cargo to work together with cargo-local-registry. We vendor crates from crates.io and a custom internal registry.
