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.

Check out https://github.com/dtolnay/watt - it's a really interesting solution to the problem!

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.

NPM malware and what it could imply for Cargo
I really wish there was more interest in getting something like Watt upstreamed.

What even is a JSON number?
Oh wow. So serde_json doesn't roundtrip floats by default, it uses some imprecise faster algorithm https://github.com/serde-rs/json/issues/707
Good thing there's msgpack I guess.

A Simple CRUD API in Rust with Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare KV, and the Rust Router
To serialize and deserialize data, we'll employ the popular serde crate along with serde_json. This will allow us to easily convert between Rust types and JSON when working with API requests and responses. For async operations we'll use the Rust futures crate.

Building a Rust app with Perseus
From the Cargo.toml file above, we can see that the Perseus version at the time of publication is 0.4.2 and has the following dependencies that are common to both the engine side (server-side) and client side of a Perseus application: sycamore, serde, and serde_json.

Müsli - An experimental binary serialization framework with more choice
Number parsing uses a fairly naive but uses a lossless algorithm in musli-json. In serde_json they use a fork of lexical I haven't wrapped my head around. I wanted something simple to start with.

How can I deserialise this value?
Your best best would be to use an enum. Either your own or something like the one from serde_json depending on what you are trying to do.

Spotting and Avoiding Heap Fragmentation in Rust Apps
Don't do that if you care about memory usage. In your toy program, I wouldn't be surprised if memory usage was a lot better if you used Box instead. (even if it doesn't look like it, you can handle almost all the use cases of serde_json::Value with it, often not much less convenient)
