I think the idea of the Rust implementations of Y and A is portability, primarily. A JS implementation alone is very opinionated about, for example, what your backend should look like. A Rust ditto will be less opinionated and more accessible in a variety of environments.

I don’t think the main point is the supposed superiority of WASM vs JS in terms of performance, as the article surmises.
