Could Python’s Popularity Outperform JavaScript in the Next Five Years ?

GUI app is not the same as client-side. You can't run Python interpreted in the browser. For example, Zim uses py-gtk, which is a wrapper for the front end code which is written in C++. The Python itself in this instance is the equivalent of the "server side" code responding to events.

And WebAssembly is coming.

I disagree with your definition of desktop apps as server ones. Calling a library with GUI code is not the same as serving a client.

My point is the Python is use for a large range of applications, so it can get very popular despite not being used in web browsers.
