Can browsers run rust in the front end instead of javascript, or is it limited to build time and backend stuff?
-
Sort of, browsers can run rust code through webassembly. But i dont think this is a full replacement for JavaScript as of yet.
-
Yeah, you need to have some JS to manipulate graphics, so the Rust web frameworks have a JS shim to do that and communicate with the WebAssembly Rust code as necessary. It works surprisingly well tho.

Wasm bindgen is an absolute nightmare of auto-generated function names. From a purely performance/functionality perspective it works but it's hella ugly. I hope some alternative arrives at some point.
