Using WebAssembly to turn Rust crates into fast TypeScript libraries

We built a prototype using wasm-bindgen where we computed data values (displayed in a large table). Benchmarks were slower than native js.

This was last year though, maybe things got better now, so thanks for the pointers, will do another attempt!

Thanks for providing your data point!

If you're having another go, I'd recommend checking out sledge-hammer[0], a wasm-bindgen alternative that the folks behind Dioxus have been working on. It's a faster, but more limited version. Best of luck!

Thanks!

Indeed, string decoding may have been our bottleneck as explained in [0].

Will definitely have a look.

PS: Evan from https://github.com/Demonthos, if you ever stumble upon this there is typo in the Dioxus link from your bio :)
