I've been told over and over not to try too hard too quickly; so I am taking it as easy as I can while also being productive; because not being productive felt bloody awful after two weeks of it. I am not a naturally do-nothing-at-all person.

Today is my first attempt at a full day back at work after catching/suffering/theoretically-recovering-from the 'rona. I've been in for nearly 2.5h and I feel like I almost know what I'm doing again. But I do need more tea.

*hugs* I'm currently left with fatigue, aches, coughing, and after enough coughing, headaches; but otherwise I'm basically recovered. Sadly my crappy body means I'm likely left with this lot for a few weeks.

Assuming I don't flake out; I'll be back down camby way at the end of August for the bank holiday weekend I imagine.
Today, among everything else, my brain is stuck on a loop saying "parasocial relationships are weird" in my head over and over. If anyone who follows me and hasn't actually "met" me (I'm counting video calls here) wants to chat more, just ping me; maybe we can be friends.

I think that it will indeed take at least one large company backing it before a Rust stack will really close the gap. Dioxus is interesting looking though, so I'll put it on my list of things to consider next time I want to write a webapp.

Yeah, there isn't any ideal DOM interfacing to wasm yet. I tend to be less worried about performance and more about me being able to grok the codebase 6 months later.
How is it that within minutes of discussing this with you, someone on youtube uploads: youtube.com/watch?v=sYuFT-MJโฆ

Still suffering under the yoke of COVID oppression. My lungs feel like they're half-full of snot and my throat feels like someone took a cheese grater to it.
Sadly this is approximately how *any* chest-adjacent virus affects me, so I cannot say if it's worse or not.

I did a quick search and found madewithwebassembly.com/ which does list 1password and uBlock, so I did remember those properly \o/

For me, the big thing will be being able to write web UIs without much in the way of JS because I'm awful at it.

I've seen it used for running cryptographic algorithms reasonably quickly in the browser (I think 1password is an example of this), it's been used for rendering stuff in-browser; I think uBlock uses it too to speed up regex faffage etc. Also its use for edge computing looks fun.

I think wasm is already changing an awful lot of how the ecosystem works. Computation at least is now being offloaded to wasm in a lot of cases.

I was using yew, though the UIs I made were pretty simplistic. When I did just server-side stuff in Rust, I ended up doing a React frontend, though that was icky.
