It's for proper integration of garbage collected languages -- otherwise you need to embed your GC too, which bloats the wasm. JS host VMs have very good GCs these days, so hooking into them allows for better integration by e.g. go, Jav

I don't see how it's any different than using any hosting provider. It's probably worth encrypting your databases, but if you don't trust your hosting provider you're hosed -- managed service or not. If your paranoi

swc ( https://github.com/swc-project/swc ) is a rust equivalent to babel and has a bundler under development. Not sure how far along it is. That would be an interesting comparison of performance and features.

It's not part of rustup. At least for the VSCode plugin, it'll prompt you to download when it first runs. As long as you've got a working rust installation it'll work pretty seamlessly in my experience.
