Rust + WASM + Typescript [+ React]
As a note, you might find some references to use wee_alloc, but it has been unmaintained for some time and shouldn't be used. I'm using the default allocator with the wasm32-wasi target and it works fine, but I don't know if that works with wasm32-unknown-unknown too; if not there's lol_alloc.

Junior Dev here -- How are we setting up Rust, WASM, and webpack?
Note that the wasm-pack tutorial recommends using the wee_alloc crate. This crate is unmaintained and leaks memory, so it should be avoided. Remove this crate, the default allocator works just fine in WebAssembly.

Don't use wee_alloc in production code targeting WebAssembly.
It leaks memory: https://github.com/rustwasm/wee_alloc/issues/106

Need advice on a project involving Webassembly+ web_sys + webgl
Last thing that comes to mind is switching the allocator to wee_alloc. I use it most of the time for wasm projects and it doesn't make too much of a difference in binary size but that always depends on the project and usually saves at least a few kB.

For example, check out wee_alloc.

wee_alloc, an allocator optimized for small code size.

#![no_std] with WASI is more complicated than I thought it would be
Ok. Now I need to add in a global allocator. I use wee_alloc since I know it works pretty well with WASM: Cargo.toml
