Just a noob over here, what's the upside of this? It runs on top of JS and Python has nothing in the standard lib for dealing with the DOM, I am wrong?

- sva_ 4y agoNumpy and Scipy in the browser might be pretty useful. If only for making something like an interactive tutorial/course of the language, where one doesn't have to download Python immediately, and one doesn't rely on a remote server to execute stuff.

For instance I wrote a little hobby app in Javascript, that did some calculations and displayed a result. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I could run my app on my phone, or on a Linux box, with no code changes. In contrast, sharing a Python program right now requires someone following the instructions for installing Python on their system, or hosting Python on a server.
