Farcaster

Hubble is now 10% Rust and 5x faster 

- @adityapk has been quietly gutting and rewriting the slow bits
- a few 🦀 hubs are in prod hiding amongst the js hubs
- will be rolling out to everyone soon

Hubs are now up to 14% Rust. 

@adityapk @sanjay and @wazzymandias.eth have moved all our hot code paths to Rust.

Focus is now on improving sync and p2p until we can comfortably support 500k DAU.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I saw RUST and it made me think of this SWF converter is this something we could investigate with FRAMEs supporting:

Would be hella cool to see a resurgence of "NEWGROUND'esque" animation in frames and I would love to put stuff out that way.

I'm wondering if you have considered reimplementing the hub in Rust instead of refactoring it? How did you make this decision?

I’ve never done it, but writing a smart contract in JS sounds like a nightmare.  Debugging that I would imagine would make me want to admit myself
