Previously whenever a future readiness notification came in we would immediately start polling a future. This ends up having two downsides, however: * First, the stack depth may run a risk of getting blown. There's no recursion limit to defer execution to later, which means that if futures are always ready we'll keep making the stack deeper. * Second, and more worrisome in the near term, apparently future adapaters in the `futures` crate (namely the unsync oneshot channel) doesn't actually work if you immediately poll on readiness. This may or may not be a bug in the `futures` crate but it's good to fix it here anyway. As a result whenever a future is ready to get polled again we defer its polling to the next turn of the event loop. This should ensure that the current call stack is always drained and we're effectively enqueueing the future to be polled in the near future.
wasm-bindgen
Facilitating high-level interactions between wasm modules and JavaScript.
Import JavaScript things into Rust and export Rust things to JavaScript.
extern crate wasm_bindgen;
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
// Import the `window.alert` function from the Web.
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern {
fn alert(s: &str);
}
// Export a `greet` function from Rust to JavaScript, that alerts a
// hello message.
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn greet(name: &str) {
alert(&format!("Hello, {}!", name));
}
Use exported Rust things from JavaScript with ECMAScript modules!
import { greet } from "./hello_world";
greet("World!");
Features
-
Lightweight. Only pay for what you use.
wasm-bindgen
only generates bindings and glue for the JavaScript imports you actually use and Rust functionality that you export. For example, importing and using thedocument.querySelector
method doesn't causeNode.prototype.appendChild
orwindow.alert
to be included in the bindings as well. -
ECMAScript modules. Just import WebAssembly modules the same way you would import JavaScript modules. Future compatible with WebAssembly modules and ECMAScript modules integration.
-
Designed with the "host bindings" proposal in mind. Eventually, there won't be any JavaScript shims between Rust-generated wasm functions and native DOM methods. Because the wasm functions are statically type checked, some of those native methods' dynamic type checks should become unnecessary, promising to unlock even-faster-than-JavaScript DOM access.
