Looks like the initial concept got lost in translation. The original “arewefastyet” was created to focus relentlessly on one single goal and be accountable by making it public. If you have fifteen of those hidden under funny URLs you’re kinda missing the point.

I'm not sure if you're saying that (say) "Asynchronous I/O in Rust" should be tracked by arewefastyet.com or that "Asynchronous I/O in Rust" should not be tracked by any website at all, because neither of those make sense.

Trying to do everything in Rust is a trap for some people, I remember I once tried using yew to make my static personal site in Rust and wasm. Thanks for my time writing Rust now I have much better understanding of choosing the right tool for the right task.

I think using any client-side WASM framework for a public website is a pretty bad idea right now. I wouldn't even use Blazor from Microsoft, which has a lot more funding than Yew.

Yeah, I think it depends, for high-interaction web apps and games it's fine, but for content based sites it's very unnecessary and hurts accessibility.

it’s a childish distraction, and a testament to the demise of the org

That they even had resources working on this says a lot

What suggests to you that those were "resources working on this" and not just people, inside or outside of Mozilla, doing that because they thought it was funny or interesting?

What a waste of domain space (yes, I know they're abundant, but still.) areweaudioyet.com says nothing about its contents. areweasyncyet.rs had the right idea with the .rs domain name, but anyways, I feel like all of these would be better organized on one wiki, with one list for each category. Easier to search, edit, and hyperlink.
