Comment on A possible future of Python in the browserparent

Comments

I have mentioned it on HN before, but I strongly believe that bringing Python to the browser, especially via WASM, and going as far as bringing on a templating library, would allow Python to match things like C#'s Blazor, which honestly has been a productivity boost on web projects.

Scala.js runs in the browser in a way that actually works and feels first-class, I'd highly recommend it if you haven't tried it. Scala has a reputation for obtuse symbol-heavy code, but you don't have to write that way if you don't want to - most Python code translates directly into equivalent Scala, and there are libraries (particularly lihaoyi's efforts) designed to support this style.
