Rust is being used to replace parts of the JavaScript web ecosystem due to its performance, memory efficiency, and focus on code safety. It is being adopted by companies like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft, as well as popular open-source libraries. Rust can compile to WebAssembly, which offers faster web experiences. While Rust has a steep learning curve and limited adoption in the web community, it is seen as the future of JavaScript tooling, with projects like Next.js and Deno already using Rust-based tools for faster performance.

Rust Is The Future of JavaScript Infrastructure

<p>Interesting. I was aware of some rewrite in Rust but not all the one mentioned. It definitely is interesting to learn Rust to go back to lower-level programming after years of JS.</p>
