Looking at the description, it seems that Fastly supports web assembly and Rust is one of the languages that can compile to web assembly.

However to show my excitement about Rust, I will be appending " - supports Rust" to any announcement I post. For example:

New Linux Kernel released - supports Rust

Dell releases new Developer edition XPS - supports Rust

Intel releases Ice Lake processors - supports Rust

Windows 10 Update - supports Rust

'66 Chevelle Fully Restored - no longer suppports Rust.

Wow it makes me sad that the top comment here is the one that's mocking the post.

Just because they've designed a compute environment that uses WebAssembly doesn't mean that their platform supports all languages that compile to WebAssembly.

Doesn't it? How would they block WA generated from Rust? Or identify it?

That’s not obvious to me... care to elaborate? What languages that target wasm aren’t supported?

If that was the case then arguably they wouldn’t fully support web assembly but only have partial support.
