What is the novelty here?
E.g. we have https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide and other examples.
The cool part here is Emscripten, which has been around for a long time.
- simonw 5y agoIt's pretty cool that this latest version uses the latest main branch of CPython directly, without any additional modifications.
- criticaltinker 5y agoYes exactly - numpy, matplotlib etc available in the browser via sensible JS interfaces could significantly impact the front-end ecosystem IMO. Exciting times and great work from the community.
- petters 5y agoAlright. To be fair, I've reached the front page on HN by just compiling a C linear programming solver with Emscripten.
