Fascinating. I've written cross platform (WASM, iOS, Android) libraries with Rust before and had a good time but Rust can be a pain too. Cross-platform Typescript is a really interesting proposition.
Though I do worry they're trying to do too much here. Cross-platform TS and native UI libraries? I think the former is much more valuable than the latter. Also doesn't inspire confidence that the text on the site is very clearly AI generated.
tbf Rust also can spit out pretty big binaries for small programs
Agreed. You can optimize things a fair amount with the Rust compiler, at least.
Calling a couple million lines of ai written Rust "stable software" is a bold statement
Curious where on spectrum compiling to wasm falls between art project & optimization potential. Should be able to make some nice interfaces between TS-wasm & TS-web
the claim of "no runtime" is a bit dubious... you're telling me that you're statically linking a full, modern UI library into every app?
