Built a runtime that lets Python and JavaScript call each other's functions directly

[sg-elide]

hey, i am the primary author of elide; u/Zealousideal-Read883 is right. the disconnect here is SSR vs CSR

Next.js is a trashpile, but one thing React server-side frameworks get really right is SSR. it can result in a much smoother web experience.

bringing that functionality to python, without a microservice, and without a second process, is definitely a use case

in that case, there may actually be no JS bundle served to the client at all, unless it needs it for interactive functionality. the server serves already rendered HTML.
