State of WebAssembly and Rust?

Rust gets rid of Emscripten and has its own minimal runtime and a lot of documentation on how to modify said runtime as well as how to write the runtime yourself

It's true that a huge part of the emscripten runtime right now consists in emulating features of other platforms (such as sockets, pthreads, or a filesystem). In the future it would be nice if this layer disappeared.
