But according to Rust. Rust is a higher level language for lover level tasks. It has the advantage for the sake of performance not to have a garbage collection but a tough compiler (when it compiles it runs - so they say). They to memory management with the "borrowing system"... means memory could only be ownd by one actor. This helps memory saftyness a ton. It's a better C++. Mozilla's (Firefox) CSS Rendering Engine was re-written in Rust. That was actually the reason Mozilla made Rust (and open sourced it). To many concurrency bugs that could not be tracked down. This has nothing to do with Assambly in the first place.
On the other hand there is Webassmbly which is byte code that runs in the browser. Mostly used for heavy combuting stuff inside the browser and WASM can interact with the DOM as well. Almost all languages can compile down to WASM (WebAssembly) - because no one wants to write code in Assembly


... pen interaction and browsers are a whole different beast. I think newer HTML should access to pen pressure and tilt and this is something related to the touch interaction stuff but I am not sure -haven't looked into it yet. But I can imaging that it is most likely slower than native desktop apps. This might indeed be the trade-off between compatibility and broughter reach of users and performance **sigh**
Anyway back to business here is my latest... My addition to the boring apes
