Support WebAssembly

It would be awesome if this were a WebAssembly library wrapped in JS on npm.

Do you know of any other Rust projects that have done this?

Loads. Since Rust compiles statically by default, has a very small runtime (much more C than Go or Java), and has a very new and therefore modern compiler toolchain, Rust is one of the best options to compile to WASM.

The easy way is wasm-pack.
The harder way is just wasm-bindgen. Still pretty convenient.
The hard way is also possible if you’re a masochist.

I’d guess that most rust-to-wasm packages are built with wasm-pack, live in different repositories than the libraries they wrap and are published to npm.

There’s also other options, e.g.:
