Hello Dalu, I finished my first step inside WASM Land.

- Why I have chosen to look at WASM ?

Some heavy tasks can be delegated to WASM.

We can use another language than JS to do Web.

- Conclusion :

For now, I decided to not include WASM in my frontend projects but I will keep trying and watching its evolutions.

I found that JS is more powerful for my cases.

WASM will be powerful if I do VR, gaming, image/video processing and more complicated tasks.

However I don't think that in a frontend application (website) we will do much more complex heavy task.

We have many constraints : 3G, 4G, hardware, OS, ...

We usually do heavy tasks in backend side.

Also WASM generate a big bundle !

To return to the question Rust or Elixir ?

I think I will keep my JS for frontend and my Elixir for backend ! This is my best experience until now !

Elixir/Phoenix/Erlang are powerful ! Elixir also is more easy to learn than Rust !

Next months, I will discover Kotlin and GO, I will push Elixir to the limit ! I will let you in :)

This is my article about WASM :

Thanks :) :)
