Top 23 Rust JavaScript Projects

One recent frustration I ran into with Node's DNS is that it doesn't seem to resolve whatever.localhost to 127.0.0.1, unlike my browser.
Not entirely sure which is doing the right thing by the spec here, but I much prefer the browser behavior, because I would really like to not have to add a hosts entry for everything I reverse proxy from Caddy for doing local HTTPS/HTTP2 development, for production parity.
Oh, and I also found out that Node also isn't able to use the system-wide certs store (which local HTTPS in Caddy adds to) [1], so in the end even adding a hosts entry didn't work, and I had to revert to plaintext HTTP1. Deno is looking more attractive every day [2].
Really curious to hear how other folks are doing local HTTPS/HTTP2 setups in node these days.

swc
swc is a super-fast compiler written in rust; producing widely-supported javascript from modern standards and typescript.
You could try SWC, I’ve played around with it and it is far quicker for typescript projects. Haven’t used it for production builds or anything but I’m sure as a test runner it would be fine.

OPS
OPS - Build and Run Open Source Unikernels. Quickly and easily build and deploy open source unikernels in tens of seconds. Deploy in any language to any cloud.

tools
The Rome Toolchain. A linter, compiler, bundler, and more for JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, Markdown, and CSS.
Project mention: Announcing Parcel CSS: A new CSS parser, compiler, and minifier written in Rust! | reddit.com/r/rust | 2022-01-12I love seeing more and more of the frontend tooling space migrating to Rust. Next.js recently moved their TypeScript compiler to swc , which Parcel is also using. Parcel also has a source maps library written in Rust. The Rome Toolchain is being rewritten in Rust. And I strongly suspect there are at least a couple other large scale Rust-for-the-frontend projects being built at FAANG-scale companies :)

Personally I like fnm. It’s nearly nvm api compatible, but (at least at the time) much faster. I don’t know if nvm still takes a noticeable time to switch, but fnm doesn’t.

Project mention: Need advice on a project involving Webassembly+ web_sys + webgl | reddit.com/r/rust | 2022-01-09
3- Also, I do not like that i have to use npm to serve the app (wasm-bindgen uses it in examples). Any better and easier option here ?

Project mention: Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-11-11
I've been using NAPI-RS to bridge from Electron Rust and it's been nice - https://napi.rs/ I believe SWC uses it behind the scenes.
They just put out an alpha release that makes it way more ergonomic to write Rust functions that interop with JS, too. There's a small example of it in the README: https://github.com/napi-rs/napi-rs#taste
NAPI isn't as well-known in the JS-to-Rust bindings world (Neon [1] is the more well-known library https://neon-bindings.com/) but it seems to be gaining steam.

tangram
Tangram makes it easy for programmers to train, deploy, and monitor machine learning models.
In this post, we will go over how we optimized our Gradient Boosted Decision Tree library. This is based on a talk that we gave at RustConf 2021: Writing the Fastest Gradient Boosted Decision Tree Library in Rust. The code is available on GitHub.

Project mention: deno_lint VS ESLint - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/deno_lint | 2021-12-24

I have tried figuring out what the project even was - it was in Astro. After some googling and reading I figured out.... I better not go deeper. It's some kind of a niche language, which may even be fun and great, but isn't used most of the time and isn't even finished. So even if I have learned it (which would be hard, considering no documentation), I wouldn't be able to transfer my skills as easily to another project, since chances are - it's not in Astro.

This might be a good use for web assembly if you're interested in trying it Check this repo

Some transformation overhead can be addressed by using serde-wasm-bindgen, but in my example repo I'll use it only for the input side (deserialization). On serialization a collection like HashMap or BTreeMap gets turned into an ES2015 Map, which is unfortunated as well, because they cannot be JSON stringified.

wasm-learning
Building Rust functions for Node.js to take advantage of Rust's performance, WebAssembly's security and portability, and JavaScript's ease-of-use. Demo code and recipes.

mine.js
:earth_asia: A voxel engine built with JS/TS/RS. (formerly mc.js) (maybe mine.ts? or even mine.rs?)
Project mention: How can a newbie coder build there own voxel game with THREE.js? | reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev | 2021-08-04ThreeJS is easily my favorite library when it comes to 3D graphics. Here's what I've been working on recently. It's a multiplayer voxel open world built with ThreeJS for the frontend and Rust for the backend: https://github.com/ian13456/mine.js

I just installed Boop-GTK and the font is wrong. The app is supposed to use a monospaced font, but mine looks like this which is clearly wrong. I looked at the documentation and couldn't find anything when it came to fonts. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

livesplit-core is a library that provides a lot of functionality for creating a speedrun timer.
