- drdaeman 16y agoIMHO, it feels quite awkward to have GNU/Linux system under the hood, and "run" Python by sending requests to some interpreter-hosting third-party service. However, I would extremely enjoy Python interpreter being hooked with Chrom{e,ium}, either as Python-to-Javascript compiler, or native code plugin. Preferably, with ability to interact with DOM and Javascript.

- rphlx 16y agoCome on, they wanted to give thousands of devs the chance to re-implement C apps in java. Poorly. Under the delusion that they can become ramen-profitable one day. OTOH, Angry Birds is awesome, so I suppose it wasn't a total waste.
- mike4u2 16y agoIt seems this shell does not automate the browser, or? I use iMacros for web browser automation. Now, if iMacros would understand Python... ;)
- streeter 16y agoIt's useful for when you're doing stuff on a Chrome OS computer. You can't pop open a shell running Python.
- statictype 16y agoAll these hacks to route around limitations of web-based computers seem like such a step backwards. We already have a nice python interpreter. Why are we reinventing it in javascript?
