A React application eventually reached its performance limits. It was designed as a web dashboard responsible for processing large data sets in real time: At first, React with TypeScript managed the workload efficiently. However, as the volume of data increased, performance degradation became unavoidable. The UI began to stutter. Scrolling lost smoothness. Filters introduced noticeable delay. Even routine operations—such as sorting thousands of table entries—became increasingly slow. Attempts to optimize React through state-management improvements, memoization, and virtualized lists delivered only temporary or minimal gains. Why Rust + WebAssembly? WebAssembly (WASM) had typically been viewed as a technical curiosity—primarily a way […]
