recently started learning wasm as a c++ developer, yes go binary is large for edge computing(workers) and wasm runtime is a good fit there, what about c++ vs rust for this use case?

many wasm subjects are referring rust as _the_ language, but I feel modern c++ can do it as well if not better on all aspects(maturity, size, speed, even safety).




I think modern C++ could be perfectly viable as well. Maybe https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-wasi would be a good starting point? I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject. Exciting times though, I think WASM might be the great equalizer.
