The Arch: Using Rust & WebAssembly to animate 30k colored LED lights
In June, Mozilla collaborated with artist Ian Brill to create an installation called the “Arch” at JSConf EU in Berlin. This interactive environment allowed people to experience the intersection of art and technology in a physical, pulsating, immersive way. The environment also created an opportunity for JavaScripters and friends to create animations and experience the underlying capabilities of WebAssembly and Rust.

JavaScript to Rust and Back Again: A wasm-bindgen Tale
Recently we’ve seen how WebAssembly is incredibly fast to compile, speeding up JS libraries, and generating even smaller binaries. We’ve even got a high-level plan for better interoperability between the Rust and JavaScript communities, as well as other web programming languages. The goal of wasm-bindgen is to provide a bridge between the types of JavaScript and Rust. It allows JS to call a Rust API with a string, or a Rust function to catch a JS exception. wasm-bindgen erases the impedance mismatch between WebAssembly and JavaScript, ensuring that JavaScript can invoke WebAssembly functions efficiently and without boilerplate, and that WebAssembly can do the same with JavaScript functions.

Where’s Rust headed in 2018? Ask the community.
Rust project leaders are setting the 2018 roadmap based on community input. The priority? Make Rust easier to learn, and make its developers more productive. Expect a major update to the open source systems programming language later this year.

Diving into Rust for the first time
Rust is a new programming language which focuses on performance, parallelization, and memory safety. By building a language from scratch and incorporating elements from modern programming language design, the creators of Rust avoid a lot of “baggage” (backward-compatibility requirements) that traditional languages have to deal with. Instead, Rust is able to fuse the expressive syntax […]
