Very cool!

I've been desperately looking for something similar for Rust. I'm too old for all these magic frameworks and "deployers" :-)

I have some Rust code, possibly linking in some objects compiled from C. How do I compile to wasm and deploy without magic? Any pointers?

I made some emulators in Rust as a learning project during the start of the pandemic, and ran into the exact same issue when I wanted to make a wasm version to run in a browser. Eventually, I was able to figure out how to do it, although I do use the 'wasm-pack' Cargo package to assist with it (I think you can get away without it if you're really motivated, you just need to set up the targets and other elements yourself). Basically you define some Rust API to expose whatever you need from your project, then that and the project get compiled into one .wasm binary and some (surprisingly readable) JavaScript "glue" gets generated which allows for easy inclusion into a web page. It works well for code in the std, but I've had issues with 3rd party packages.

It's focused on emulation development, but I wrote a document that describes the process I followed: https://github.com/aquova/chip8-book/blob/master/src/wasm.md
