Rust is a programming language with modern syntax, and it is comparable to C++ in terms of performance and speed. It has been voted the most-loved programming language for more than five years in a row. Rust is becoming increasingly popular. It was used by Mozilla when they rebuilt their CSS engine for Firefox. Some companies have moved away from building services in Go and C++ in favor of Rust.
JavaScript and TypeScript dominate Frond-End development. Historical reason has favored those programming languages and has naturally made them one of the most popular programming languages in the world. They happened to be one of the first programming languages newcomers are learning.
The natural dominance of JavaScript is visible in our browser but also during the development of our Front-End. Tools like Webpack, Babel, EsLint, and more have been written in JavaScript. With NodeJS and NPM, the number of packages and tools for Front-End development has exploded, most written in JavaScript. So why is Rust the future of Front-End development?
