I assume the plan would be to compile the Rust into a dylib and use Deno's FFI to run it? https://deno.land/manual/runtime/ffi_api

Maybe because you don't need the Node.js runtime, so you can mix maybe Deno with Svelte?

The JavaScript engine in Deno has a Rust wrapper. Perhaps the Rust Svelte compiler can interact with the code in some beneficial way.

One of Deno's strengths is Rust

My vote would be for "Endo".

I think it means using rusty-v8 directly or it's API via Deno to SSR in deno runtimes or similar?

That's super nice looking Rust. You caused me to revise my opinion the Rust had ugly syntax. I got the impression when I wrote a file system tool in Rust a few years ago. I see things have improved.

I think you can run Svelte-compiled Javascript in Deno today -- it's just Javascript, after all.

Having the compiler not depend on NodeJS would mean you could live in either (Deno+Rust) or (Deno+WASM) ecosystems fully.

Probably compile to WebAssembly
