Rust is what's up.

@basilfawlty89 This whole thing is perhaps the best advertisement Rust could've asked for

@Elessar on the front-end with web dev, most of my compilers are rust based now. Turbopack for example.

@basilfawlty89 I'm not 100% sure if it's the case but iirc you can write frontend code in rust and compile it to wasm.

Idk how it manipulates the DOM (maybe there's a library wrapping all the usual JS/browser APIs?) or if it's only used to write bits of "hot" / high performance code, called by the usual JS/TS

@Elessar you can yeah. And they do have dull stack stuff like Hugo. Generally though, I prefer Rust for my tooling and backend, with Typescript and React on the front-end.
