this is pretty neat! I was wondering, are there any projects to transpile python to js, but targeting the server side? It would be interesting to port a flask application, for example, to run on node and benefit from the jit, or maybe use express and call flask through its wsgi interface.
everything that can be written in JS will be written in JS!!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?
Maybe something like this? https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide
I'd love there to be a client-side webapp development system using Python with feature and output parity to JavaScript. If it was a product, I would buy it.
Something like (client-side):
thread::send $::tcl-web::server -async {
do stuff
} placeToStoreResult
...
vwait placeToStoreResult
do stuff with result $placeToStoreResultWill web assembly have any effect on a future web based python interpreter? Is there one in the works?
Great project. My team used it for a live-coding Python notebook: https://github.com/inkandswitch/livebook#readme To my surprise it was faster than Jupyter / CPython for some tasks (e.g. loading and parsing large CSVs).
Shouldn't be too surprising, given how PyPy is generally faster than CPython by about x7-8 factor: http://speed.pypy.org/ I'd expect a much larger difference in tasks that are pure Python (loading a CSV is done primarily through the csv module, i.e. all the hot loops are in C).

Yes, but PyPy is usually compiled to machine code (and emits machine code), not to JS.
