Building AI chatbots with Webassembly, Rust, and Leptos

Webassembly and the rest of the browser's functionally have always coexisted uneasily, and even the recent Webassembly 3 brings us little closer to allowing direct DOM manipulation.

But Rust offers a lot of tooling to paper over the gaps, and it's possible -- perhaps even pleasant -- to write sophisticated webapps without touching JavaScript.

Thomas Down - veteran genome sequencer and genius - will be demonstrating Leptos , a somewhat-React-like UI library for Rust. Time and interest permitting, we'll use it to build a simple LLM chatbot interface.
