Why not write Rust directly, and target WASM for client side environments?

I support efforts to tune existing tech stacks. But there is such a more direct path to performance, reliability, etc etc by dropping (alt)JS entirely now that anything can compile to WASM.

I agree; that is what we built the Zaplib framework for. But the reality is that there are tons and tons of existing JS/TS codebases out there, and it'd be nice to have an incremental speedup path for them too.
