  1. • Dip your toe in • Performance • Easy integration

    of native libraries • Hack without fear: safety first!
  2. #[macro_use] extern crate neon; use /* ... */; fn hello(call:

    Call) -> JsResult<JsString> { Ok(JsString::new(call.scope, "hello node").unwrap()) } register_module!(m, { m.export("hello", hello) });
  3. #[macro_use] extern crate neon; use /* ... */; fn hello(call:

    Call) -> JsResult<JsString> { Ok(JsString::new(call.scope, "hello node").unwrap()) } register_module!(m, { m.export("hello", hello) }); ?
  4. var total = 0; for (var i = 0, n

    = lines.length; i < n; i++) { total += wcLine(lines[i], "thee"); }
  5. function wcLine(line, search) { var words = line.split(' '); var

    total = 0; for (var i = 0, n = words.length; i < n; i++) { if (matches(words[i], search)) { total++; } } return total; } 280ms
  6. fn wc_line(line: &str, search: &str) -> i32 { let mut

    total = 0; for word in line.split(' ') { if matches(word, search) { total += 1; } } total } 85ms
  7. fn wc_line(line: &str, search: &str) -> i32 { line.split(' ')

    .filter(|word| matches(word, search)) .fold(0, |sum, _| sum + 1) }
  8. fn wc_line(line: &str, search: &str) -> i32 { line.split(' ')

    .filter(|word| matches(word, search)) .fold(0, |sum, _| sum + 1) } lines.into_iter() .map(|line| wc_line(line, search)) .sum()
  9. fn wc_line(line: &str, search: &str) -> i32 { line.split(' ')

    .filter(|word| matches(word, search)) .fold(0, |sum, _| sum + 1) } lines.into_par_iter() .map(|line| wc_line(line, search)) .sum() 50ms
  10. fn wc_line(line: &str, search: &str) -> i32 { line.split(' ')

    .filter(|word| matches(word, search)) .fold(0, |sum, _| sum + 1) } lines.into_par_iter() .map(|line| wc_line(line, search)) .sum() 50ms
  11. let mut buffer = call.arguments.require(scope, 0)? .check::<JsBuffer>()?; let total =

    buffer.grab(|data| { let corpus = str::from_utf8(data.as_slice()).unwrap(); wc(&lines(corpus), "thee") }); Ok(JsInteger::new(scope, total))
  12. struct Greeter { greeting: String } declare_types! { pub class

    JsGreeter for Greeter { init(greeting: String) { Ok(Greeter { greeting: greeting }) } method hello(call: Call) { let scope = call.scope; let name = call.arguments.require(scope, 0)?.check::<JsString>()?; let message = call.arguments.this(scope).grab(|greeter| { format!("{}, {}!", greeter.greeting, name) }); Ok(JsString::new(scope, message).unwrap()) } } }
  13. module! { export class JsGreeter for Greeter { init(greeting: String)

    { Ok(Greeter { greeting: greeting }) } method hello(name: String) -> String { Ok(self.arguments.this(self.scope).grab(|g| { format!("{}, {}!", g.greeting, name) })) } } }
  14. A few caveats: • Currently better for apps than libs.

    • Calling from JS to Rust costs, so make it worth it. • I keep falling asleep in my comfy hacking chair!
