into the motivations for choosing Rust for our crash reporter, outline the unique challenges of designing an application that operates when the main browser has failed, and discuss the new architecture we've implemented. We also share insights into the technical nuances of the implementation, demonstrating how Rust's features are leveraged to handle crashes more effectively and securely.</p> <div class="post__meta"> Posted on <abbr class="published" title="2024-04-23T12:08:08-07:00"> April 23, 2024 </abbr> </div> </div> </li> <li class="list-item row listing"> <img alt='Avatar photo' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536?s=72' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536?s=144 2x' class='avatar avatar-72 photo' height='72' width='72' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <div class="block block--1"> <h3 class="post__title"> <a href="https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/04/hello-wasm-pack/">Hello <code>wasm-pack</code>!</a> </h3> <p class="post__tease">Introducing wasm-pack, a new tool for assembling and packaging Rust crates that target WebAssembly.
