Many misconceptions in the article. It is a good example of an apples to oranges comparison.

Kubernetes is first and foremost an orchestrator.

Docker is an environment. You can run Redis, proxies and all kind of infrastructure in Docker containers. Or your own binaries.

The article is making a valid point in distributing binaries. That's all. Nothing new here. If WASM will conquer the world - we'll see. Potential is there. But WASM for the browser was already overhyped. Hype seems necessary in our times but is clearly not enough.

I like it. I wonder if this is available for Windows?

The title invites us to talk about the tech stack, so I'll do:

The better tech for an app like this would certainly be Qt with C++. OP mentioned that this is a project for learning Rust which is perfectly fine. However, if the goal was to build the best possible product in the most efficient way, just use Qt and C++. At my job we've build many Qt apps and they don't explode with memory leaks and race conditions (unlike many Rust evangelists keep praying). And also they don't became an unmaintainable mess. Rust is great and all, but if you need a cross-plattform UI that is not Electron just use Qt with C++.
