   I'm following this tutorial to re-learn #WebAssembly programming in #Rust using the latest coolness of wasm-bindgen, wasm-pack, and... NO emscripten! 😎

     Of course, my brand new hello world app starts off with 8 high severity vulnerabilities 😂

     After an `npm audit fix --force`, I'm left with only 6 high vulns 👍

     ...and it broke my development setup. I can't test my #rust "hello world" any more 😟

     Is #npm really so bad, or I'm having bad luck?

     After manually updating all the devDependencies in package.json. the webpack-dev-server starts again, but now it's refusing to load my #wasm code due to a BREAKING CHANGE.

     Is npm a new type of DLL hell?? Luckily, there are clear instructions to solve the problem...

     All right, my hello-wasm works!

     Time spent writing WebAssembly code in Rust: 1 min
     Time spent fighting npm: 1 hour

     @neglesaks Oh yeah,

     42 packages are looking for funding
     run `npm fund` for details

     ...or else someone might slip a dozen high vulnerabilities and BREAKING CHANGEs in deps you didn't even know existed...

     @akhil Yeah, I switched to wasm-pack a couple of days ago.

     For local http serving I've been using this thing, but it's very limited (no way to customize the html):
     https://github.com/rukai/cargo-run-wasm

     I see that trunk has a built-in dev server, I'll give it a try when I find some time.

     Thanks for the tips!

     @codewiz
     You may like https://crates.io/crates/wasm-pack and/or https://crates.io/crates/trunk to build wasm apps without node and npm.
