Parent article: APT Rust requirement raises questions

Rust can target wasm and there’s wasm2c, which works well enough that RLBox is real and is used in Firefox with wasm coming from clang.

I don’t know about the level of effort requires to get the pile of C to expose the same interface as the Rust input is exposing as FFI.

At that stage, you might as well compile to WASM, and run that binary using a wasm runtime on the platforms that lack Rust ?
