Chapter 7: Integrating Rust with WebAssembly

Rust is a system-level programming language. Being a system-level programming language, Rust provides low-level memory management and the ability to represent data efficiently. Thus, it provides complete control to programmers and better performance.

In addition to this, Rust also provides the following:

  • A friendly compiler – The Rust compiler is your companion when writing Rust. The compiler corrects you, guides you, and ensures that you write memory-safe code almost always.
  • The ownership model – The ownership model ensures that we do not need garbage collection. This guarantees thread and memory safety in Rust.
  • Safety, speed, and concurrency – Rust ensures safety and concurrency and makes you stay away from risks, crashes, and vulnerabilities.
  • A modern language – Rust provides modern language syntax and the language is built to provide a better developer experience.
