Sycamore — Rust WebAssembly UI Demo
This project is a study in shifting the entire application lifecycle—state, rendering, and logic—into a single, type-safe WebAssembly binary.
By utilizing Sycamore’s fine-grained reactive primitives, I’ve built a UI that drives targeted DOM updates without the overhead of Virtual DOM reconciliation.
It demonstrates a "Framework Independent" future where Rust replaces traditional JavaScript for state management while maintaining clean, bidirectional interoperability with libraries like Chart.js via type-safe wasm-bindgen wrappers—ensuring UI consistency is verified at compile-time rather than runtime.
The Forge Specs
- ✦ Reactivity: Signal-Based primitives (Zero Virtual DOM overhead)
- ✦ Interop: Bidirectional Chart.js orchestration via type-safe wasm-bindgen wrappers
- ✦ Safety: Type-Safe Component Architecture leveraging Rust’s strong typing for props
- ✦ Architecture: Zero-JS Core Logic (State, rendering, and logic live in the WASM binary)
- ✦ Philosophy: Framework Independence (Replacing JS-heavy stacks with compiled Rust)
- ✦ Deployed: As a static WASM application on Netlify
