This makes no mention of the size of these applications. Given the recent focus on shipping less JavaScript to the browser to better support mobile and slow networks, I wonder how feasible this project even is?

Man Rust is super hard already! I mean people told me it would be harder to think functionally but after clojure, i think lisps are super easy. But i feel Rust is way harder than anything. Infact i feel Haskell is comparatively easier than Rust. So i am not sure why one wants to use it for web. I think Rust has a place and that is to replace C++ for system software, possibly even C for writing Kernels because why not…
Nice overview, it might be worth mentioning that Emscripten isn't a tier 1 platform[1]. We've seen some asserts thrown in LLVM when building debug but go away when build release. I've been trying to isolate it down to a reproducible sample but haven't nailed down exactly what's causing it yet. Even with that issue it's been great to work with. I find myself so much more productive with Rust compared to C/C++. [1] htt…
Alternatively, since setting up/running creduce can be bit fiddly, if the code is open source, I suspect that someone would do it for you if you filed a bug against Rust pointing to an exact commit that demonstrates the problem with `cargo build --target=...` (or xargo) and requested/suggested creduce.

Rust has a comparable amount of runtime as C, here it is: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/libstd/rt....
wasm/asmjs does bring in some stuff, because it's mostly in a "it works" state than a "this is as good as it gets" state; our initial implementations didn't even do much optimization at all. Last I checked (last November), an example TodoMVC was to ~650K total, and given that the smallest known Rust binary is 151 bytes, I'd imagine that only gets smaller into the future.
https://cryze.github.io/advent-of-code-2016/ has a bunch of Advent of Code programs in Rust, compiled this way; Day 1 is weighing in at 300kb, it looks like.
asmjs is also much larger than wasm, day 3 is showing 1.4 MB for asm, but 69kb for wasm.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It _is_ isomorphic since he is shipping the rust code to the browser using web assembly.
It could be , hypothetically, but the description and example given don't do that.
EDIT: what is going on here with the downvotes? Care to explain?

In my case I'm writing a Web app to expose the functionality of a library that's written in Rust, and Rocket was a natural choice for that—it would make little sense to use some other language and go over the FFI. On the client side, I've found that TypeScript 2.x in strict mode goes nicely with Rust on the server, as both Rust and TS 2.x have comparably feature-rich and expressive type systems (generics, tuples, discriminated unions, a distinct null/option type, etc.)
