Rust WebAssembly VS Javascript Benchmark

This is a simple project that demonstrates how to use Rust and WebAssembly to benchmark a function compared to javascript.

The benchmark compares the performance of a Rust function that generates random data and sort that with a JavaScript function that does the same thing. The Rust function is compiled to WebAssembly, and the benchmark measures how long it takes to execute the function.

Installation

To run this project, you will need to have Rust and Node.js installed on your system.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/devshekhawat/rust-vs-js.git
   

2. Build the WebAssembly module:

   cd rust-vs-js/rust-benchmark
   wasm-pack build --target web
   

3. Manually copy rust-benchmark/pkg to /src (PS: this is work in progress and will remove this setup in future)

4. Build the web app:

   cd ../web-benchmark
   npm install
   npm start
   

Usage

To run the benchmark, you can use goto http://localhost:3000. You can open this url in a web browser to see the results of the benchmark.

The benchmark compares the performance of a Rust function that generates random data and sort that with a JavaScript function that does the same thing. The Rust function is compiled to WebAssembly, and the benchmark measures how long it takes to execute the function.
