A big difference is where Python runs. With Pyodide, everything runs entirely in your browser, and the server side can be completely static. With Jupyter, you need a separate copy of Python running on a server somewhere to actually perform any computation.
- Vinnl 8y agoAh, thanks for the clarification, I did not know that.
- amelius 8y agoWouldn't it be more straightforward then to compile Python to WASM, and combine the resulting binary with Jupyter so everything can run in the browser?
