Why not just use Django or Flask? Python web dev is great because you do have access to so many of these incredible scientific libraries like Pandas, etc.

the problem is now you have to rewrite your entire application around the web stack. That's a huge impedence mismatch. Taken to extreme, you end up with Pandas.

Those work great for the "back end" but don't cover the aspects of the in-browser "front end" unless you do everything on the server side.

#7Incredible undertaking. Looking forward to play with it for simple machine learning tasks.
I think that loading packages directly from PyPI will be a huge milestone.

I don't know anything about web dev, so maybe it's a stupid question, but you still need javascript for the front end, right? You can't build the front and back end development completely in python?

I've used it for a couple small projects in the context of trying Iodide.
It's pretty good for data science—I can't speak to DOM manipulation that much, I've only done very minimal work with it for that. My two cents: it's bit rough around the edges—the performance is noticeably worse, and for data science, with medium-sized datasets it can freeze a tab for 10-15 seconds. Sometimes you get an odd edge case though where standard Python cannot run perfectly due to some combination of operations.
That said, overall, I'm really excited by where it's going, and I've always been able to work around the limitations.

#10Can it run cuda? Otherwise not that practical.
Minor interest. Can this approach run j/k or more important lisp?
