    How do these perform for cold-starts? I remember one of the disadvantages of using web assembly for Workers was more spin-up time, but maybe they figured out a way around that.

      My experience with Rust Wasm workers was that they eventually had shorter cold-start and runtime than JavaScript ones because your wasm is significantly more optimized than a JavaScript one that loads whatever packages/dependencies into its memory.
