there's also numpy and scipy in the webassembly python distro (pyodide). but the "kinda not" part more refers to first class scientific/numerical computing support. it's possible, but the libraries are all disjoint or are webassembly ports, etc.

Pyodide uses f2c for that, as mentioned in the link, but it isn't great, and barely works. You won't get the expected speed out of BLAS that way. Which is why the flang port it's about is attempting to compile to the actual primitives.

  i wonder if simd is working. that would be cool.

    If I understand the build process correctly... It should be on systems support WebAssemblySIMD, like Chrome's V8.

      yes, but does it actually work end to end and actually deliver meaningful speedups that make it actually useful?
