It makes more sense coming from the Rust side. For example, I can write a lightweight desktop app using the egui rust framework. But I can also compile that for the web, and run it in the browser. Basically for free, I just have to target wasm.

This also means that if you architect your app right, you have have the front-end and back-end self contained in the same app, or split them over a network boundary.

So let's say you are writing a 3d modeling app or something. You write the engine and the gui in rust, and you ship that binary to your users. You can then also, again basically for free, put a network between the gui and the rendering engine, then you can serve the gui to client browser, and handle the rendering on a server.

The point is this is easy for the rust dev, so they don't need to be a JavaScript dev as well.
