Python in the browser would ultimately lead to all the same problems as Javascript in the browser. In a few years, we'll be hearing: Clojure in the browser, Scala in the browser, Haskell in the browser. Did you miss this bit of the article: "Web browsers can be viewed as a zero install interface, a virtual machine for these applications. Such a VM has no reason to be language dependent." I don't think the article is really about Python, just thats used as an example because that's the language the author uses. I think its really about wanting a VM in the browser that any language can compile to (without having to compile to a high level language like javascript).
