Why use this instead of jupyter? Some educational applications maybe?
This runs directly in the browser, whereas Jupyter needs a server.

I think jupyter works with a backend server to execute python (right?).

#13Pity it's not Python3.
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?
Well this project has pretty much died off. No update in over a year, and nothing significant in 3-4.

It's a pretty old side-project, based on an interpreter that itself took quite a while to support Python 3 well due to lack of funding, so it's not that weird it hasn't been updated.

#15This 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?

So pretty much like every Python project then. What's happening to the Python community?

It's stable and mature?
If you've been writing JavaScript your whole career you might not know what that looks like.

Limited man-hours, and more time being spend on the data-science community? I've seen a fair number of impressive things done targeting data-science, but less big generally useful libraries.
A lot of the low-hanging fruit for generally-useful libraries have already been created, and have reached maturity?
Micropython is pretty recent, and pretty impressive.

It's moved from "growing" to "well established." I don't see many people lamenting something is in CPAN and not pip anymore. It shouldn't be surprising that you find more stale projects and packages as time goes on. Most of the interesting stuff is in the development with specific packages (Pandas, Salt, OpenStack, etc.).
