Writing Rust bindings for Node.js with Neon

Node.js, a powerful JavaScript runtime environment, can have performance and efficiency limitations that tools like Neon aim to enhance by integrating Rust for a more streamlined experience. Neon compiles Rust code to native code, which runs faster than WebAssembly, and allows developers to use nearly all of Rust's features in Node.js applications. By creating native bindings, Neon enables Rust's speed, efficiency, and ecosystem to be leveraged in Node.js projects, allowing for optimized performance in processes like object creation, file I/O operations, and function argument handling. Setting up a Neon project involves using Node.js and Rust, and the project structure combines elements of both Node.js and Rust library projects. The guide provides examples of using Neon for various tasks, such as creating objects and handling file operations, demonstrating the utility of Neon in enhancing Node.js project capabilities with Rust's benefits.
