As as a meta comment the dynamics and interplay of language adoption and language evolution is quite fascinating. For whatever reason, a lot of people have learned Python in recent times. Whether the hype is data science, machine learning or AI, the number of users creates its own reality.
So now you have some serious talent looking at the pain points people express about the platform, because ofcourse you want to keep the "devlopers, devlopers, devlopers" happy.
Personally I dont see the attraction of an all python approach to the web. The event driven nature of client side programming has no particular affinity with Python. While JS is clearly a monopoly, it doesnt strike as we are paying a huge price for the lack of alternatives. Maybe its just my lack of imagination. If people complain about JS frameworks is because of the choices and designs and burdens these imply, not the fact they are JS.
The area where an all-Python approach would be a radical new take that opens entirely new horizons is actually not the web, but mobile apps.

Hence the various attempts to jailbreak the accidental monopoly JS was born with. Unfortunately, this project doesn't even try to do that, and still relies on that pile of hacks. As such, it's never going to be particularly popular - why suffer most of the JS-ecosystem pain plus the additional pain brought by a transpiler?
