PyPy.js: Python in the web browser

Yeah weird. I would expect Python2 to be dying off more by now. Wonder if we're headed to an environment where there's essentially 2 separate languages as Python 3 continues to change and grow?

Why use this instead of jupyter? Some educational applications maybe?

Pity it's not Python3.

Assuming the work here was primarily the asm.js based emitter, maybe it can be ported to PyPy3 without needing to go from scratch.

I think we're roughly already there. I think the pivotal moment where Python 2 could've died out rapidly passed and they kept officially supporting it for too long.

This is pretty old, and hasn't seen an update in over a year. I never understand why links links this get posted with no discussion to start it off with.

Also, wouldn't this be better implemented with WASM?

I tried to do a little something with Emscripten and WebAssembly, but I stopped on the sockets implementation. It relies on WebSockets. I wonder how well we could emulate real sockets using WebRTC to make WebAssembly apps more sophisticated.
