Talk Title

Building Front-End Applications Entirely In Rust: A Love Story

Brief description of the talk

Would you absolutely love to ditch Javascript? Do you think Typescript doesn't go far enough? Do you preemptively simplify the abstractions you use in your front-end code because there's no compiler to guarantee that others implement things correctly?

Well, oh boy, do I have a talk for you!

In this talk, we'll dive into WebAssembly (what it is, what security and portability advantages it has, how browsers parse it, etc.), the tooling around WebAssembly, and then use Smithy and create-smithy-app to build a website using only Rust, before our very eyes!

Why Smithy?

Smithy is a framework for building WebAssembly applications using idiomatic Rust, and without sacrificing the compiler's safety guarantees. Here's an example Smithy app, along with the source code.

I work at Jetty

Other info

I haven't decided what app I'll demonstrate building during the talk. Open to suggestions.
In particular, I probably want to incorporate some sort of library that is associated with "serious computing" or whatnot, and use it "out of the box".
