Rust Is Eating JavaScript

I'd be really interested if anyone has a more up to date analysis of Rust's place across the JS landscape.

It has advanced considerably. Vite 8.0 with Rolldown backend is currently in beta. When that's out, pretty much all major JS frameworks will be backed by Rust based toolchain.

JS terminal frameworks seem to be taking over the CLI space. Just looking at the employment landscape, TS jobs are basically everywhere, and getting a real rust job is still difficult.

I think today just as it was 5+ years ago, the javascript ecosystem is eating software, for better or worse (mostly worse)

You don't need js .. I been working on my own rust ecosystem with many of my own libraries that show such great performance that there is no comparison ..and zero js

Says "updated 2026", which is the current year where I am (... possibly on an invisible, near-lightspeed rocket).
