This is really a feature for future but it would be cool if it was implemented it should be a lot faster than lisp but allow you to use any language you want

This won't help the elisp. We would need to transpile the elisp into WASM first. Just porting everything to rust won't fundamentally help here. We would still be running the elisp code on top of possibly a WASM base. Just like today where we run the elisp on a system hosted by native assembly.

That would be awesome!
A lot of projects are starting to use Wasmer and WebAssembly as a way to run plugins for their ecosystems. Let me know if we can help in any way!

It would be a lot more impressive if we got Remacs to run on a browser via WebGL or something....
