Yeah, Rust has a really good path to WASM for use in the JS ecosystem. I did similar with an html sanitization library a couple years ago and it ran about 5x the speed of a similar JS library at the time.
Source is obfuscated without sourcemaps, only the interface is mentioned, no link to docs in MozDev for the specs or API methods used by the example.
It's cool to show that something *can* be done, it'd be nice if it went the half a step further to guide to how it is done.
As pointed out in the article, the scope, arguments and 'name' properties are different for arrow functions.
One point not made, is it makes it easier to use tiered functions to make functional constructs and pipelines...
For example...
const takeWhile = (predicate) => (arr) => {...}
Can be used as a function that returns a function which takes the final argument... this can be used to build new functions that can be reused and passed around. It's often used as part of middleware patterns in various frameworks to handle various stages of middleware processing or not.
I really wish the site would point out and link to the Github repository for this project.

The link is spammy even if the utility seems nice. There used to be several static blog management tools for offline edit and publish, I wish there were more. I also wish there were publish targets for Cloudflare pages, and other JS SASS providers that would make a great target for this kind of utility.
I don't like Wordpress much at all, it's too big, bloated and the attacks from the script kids are just overwhelming to say the least. Mostly static content should be published to a mostly static, or at least vastly simplified platform.
I'd like to see the underlying data format be mostly markdown with a few HTML custom elements for better image and embedded snip options.
FYI: the timed actions aren't really reliable if the repository doesn't see pretty regular activity directly. I've found they stop running after a couple weeks.
I'm guessing it's the older engine... it's using ScriptControl which is part of the older .Net Framework (before Core) and seems to interact with the very old CScript ActiveScript runtime engine. It's all COM based, and from what I recall, from Classic ASP days, very ugly to work with.
I'd expected it to be using something newer, akin to what Tauri is doing in Rust. It looks like Blazor Desktop/Hybrid or Electron.Net is a more appropriate target in the space, but still very different from even what Tauri offers.
I'd suggest biting the bullet and learning just enough rust to wire up tauri if you want something like this without the baggage that electron brings.
