JavaScript excels at performant asynchronous computation. But for CPU-intensive uses such as cryptography, compression, and encoding, it’s not always ideal. For that use case a new set of technologies, WASM & WASI, have existed. And the most accessible toolchain for targeting WASM is Rust.

In this talk, I’d like to kickstart your journey to learning Rust and WASM. I want to equip you with knowledge of how to do basic conversions from classes to structs, inheritance to traits, and finally delve deeper into Rust’s async execution model.
