Interaction with Real-World JavaScript from Compiled Rust

Rust via YouTube

Overview

Explore the integration of Rust with JavaScript through asm.js and WebAssembly targets in this 45-minute conference talk. Delve into the challenges of interacting with DOM API, JavaScript libraries, and Node.js built-ins from Rust. Learn low-level techniques for wrapping common browser APIs into Rust interfaces and discover methods for interacting with JavaScript objects without native garbage collection support in Rust. Gain insights into exporting functions, generated and optimized code in asm.js and WebAssembly, memory models, and garbage collection. Compare performance metrics, including a 2.8M JSON parsing example, to understand the potential of Rust-JavaScript integration.
