This is what I was mentioning in the PyScript thread: CPython gets faster with every release, and WASM gets more efficient with every release; sooner or later the sum of these efforts will deliver a solution that is fast enough even in the browser, without us having to faff with the underlying JS at all.

For computation, sure. But isn't the wasm/js to DOM boundary always going to be a bottleneck? Maybe I'm being too negative and a faster browser API will be developed.

  bottleneck compared to what, native desktop drawing? Obviously, but that's not really an option anymore. Compared to JS performance over the same tasks - that's where WASM improvements should deliver. It doesn't have to be as fast as JS, just fast enough to become an acceptable alternative for the average case.
