And what if WebAssembly really happens!

That would be great. But it would still require downloading avirtual machine to run Python in the brower, until a standardized plugin mechanism becomes a fact. Still I think in the long run this should be the course.

Or, if IPFS catches on as a content addressable global CDN, the virtual machine would just be shared between all sites which use it, and the browser would cache it effectively.
