- aylmao 8y agoSomeone posted this on another thread: https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide What I gather is that it's compiling CPython to WASM and ships it along with some other utilities. It looks pretty cool.

- fulafel 8y agoThere have been js/asm.js CPython builds demoed since early days of emscripten, and emscripten is the main WebAssembly toolchain, so it's "just worked" since the beginning.
