Since both node and Rust use libuv for parallelism. Is it possible to provide the node libuv pool to rust so that they share a single bound on parallel operations? Also, can I use Neon for async callbacks?
Honest question: Why would someone use Node instead of a Rust web framework when writing part of the code in Rust anyway?
- Node has full garbage collection. Rust has some very clever memory-handling, but it's not quite the same. - Node is javascript. You may want to run the same code on client and server, and it's simpler than compiling Rust to JS. - There may be JS libraries you want to use. I could go on.
What would be the reason to do that?

- DOM manipulation for AJAX states so they can be reached directly from the server without needing client side JS to do anything
- Calculate discounts for products (obviously clients just POST the product they want, but the discounts should be applied on the server consistently to how they were shown to the user)
- Your code is something generic, like recursively checking for a keypath on an object, and totally useful for JS anywhere it runs.
All kinds of other reasons.
require('neon-bridge').load()
There's an API thing from the JS side I don't understand, and I didn't find anything documentation-wise (maybe it's just because I haven't had my coffee yet): require('neon-bridge').load() So this loads... which rs file, exactly? Where do I specify the Rust file to be loaded? Or is there just a single entry point and you're supposed to have one singular Rust module that is named by convention?

Looks like `neon-bridge`, in this case, is an NPM module.

It also enabled me to move functionality freely around.
Calculating report data on the front-end, so it gets ready tomorrow and later moving it into the back-end, for performance reasons.

Yes, it is, but the point is its load() function apparently takes no parameters.
Or even better line.split(' ').filter(|word| matches(word, search)).count()
