The syntax is not far off from being a one-to-one copy of Rust.&lt;p&gt;Some examples: `foo: bar` for type annotations, `-&amp;gt;` for return types, `enum { a, b }` for C-style enums, `variant { a(b, c) }` for tagged unions, `type a = b` for type aliases, `_` for placeholder types. Its implementation of WASI even uses `-&amp;gt; expected&amp;lt;_, errno&amp;gt;` for most of its return signatures, imitating Rust&amp;#x27;s Result.&lt;p&gt;I really like Rust&amp;#x27;s type system and syntax, and none of these design decisions are bad in their own right, I just get the impression that other language communities are not having enough influence in the design of WebAssembly compared to Rust.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Introduction to WebAssembly Components</title><url>https://radu-matei.com/blog/intro-wasm-components/</url></story>
