  1. But I thought having unit tests was a magic incantation that makes all your bugs go away.

  2. Partially. Some of the tooling is in Rust but it also uses llvm which is C++.

  3. The point of web-assembly is to solve that though. If you need to use a library in JS, it doesn't have to be JS. This is how it has been outside of the browser where you can mix languages. Instead people have been pushing web-assembly only for special performance critical code or web assembly on the server (makes my head hurt).

  4. This seems to be more common in Rust but it isn't exclusive to Rust. I've seen this with "100% pure Java" before. Or all the projects that start with "js" - something. Or create-react-app... no your app isn't a react app, it is an app that does things, what DOM manipulation library you use is secondary as best. My feeling though is "Rust" as a feature is an intent to get people looking to tinker in Rust as contributors to the project. If your day job is Java and you want to work in Rust, that might be a feature to you. It is fine to have these kinds of projects for people to experiment and have fun. But yeah, they likely won't ever be anything serious.
