#3Does this work for packages like PyTorch too, in GPU mode?

#6This is really fun indeed, well done, I like it. It’s funny how you decided to demo it with a library that does lots of c++ bindings it’s self.
Now someone can put a wrapper around this to hide the python imports, so we can claim JS is the only language we need.

#7Does this work for packages like PyTorch too, in GPU mode?
Yes, it uses your native python installation so everything that works with python should work with this.
I have had success running sbert, faster-whisper and various other GPU accelerated packages.

#8So you can now shoot yourself in the foot with both Python and JavaScript package management?

#9It would be magical if we also got typescript type hints too.

#10Let Python from Deno write to SQLite, Deno serve a webpage that use JS to accessing «static» SQLite using HTTP range requests, and we have come full circle
(Joke, but would be a cool prototype)
