From Rust-powered backends for React frontends, to WebAssembly running C++ in the browser, this is the era of hybrid stacks. Let's explore how developers are bridging native and modern frameworks in real-world projects.

1️⃣ The Case for Hybrid Architectures

Modern apps often have diverse needs:

  • Speed in the backend
  • Interactivity in the frontend
  • Hardware control with cross-platform UI
  • Offline capabilities with cloud syncing

No single language or framework can do all of that efficiently.

That’s where mixing comes in.
