🤖 Unlike the above languages Rust can also be used as a replacement of part of the application. Especially if there is a part that needs some speed-up or needs some memory saving. One could replace part of a Python or Node project by Rust and embed the code using PyO3 or napi respectively. This is also going to be the topic of the presentation of Aviram Hassan called Microdosing Rust to your organization.

extism
The framework for building with WebAssembly (wasm). Easily & securely load wasm modules, move data, call functions, and build extensible apps.
I started using WebAssembly in earnest a few months ago to make a backend auth library that works in several different languages[0]. It's built on Extism[1], which abstracts away some of the interfacing complexity. It's been an awesome experience. Frequently feels like magic.
WASM is in an interesting place. The value has clearly been proved with a pretty minimal core spec. Now there's a big push to implement a much larger API surface for WASI and the Component Model. A lot of people in the community are concerned about this direction, or at least the way it's happening[2].
For my part, I hope WASM doesn't go the way of the rest of web browsers where it gets so complicated that only Big Tech is capable of making implementations and experimenting.
