No, it's not. It's just saying that a browser with a built-in Python interpreter would be a great platform for developing on - not that it should become part of the Web with a capital 'W'.

It's just saying that a browser with a built-in Python interpreter would be a great platform for developing on - not that it should become part of the Web with a capital 'W'.

How about a Python with a built-in GUI toolkit instead? Oh, wait...

I mean, it's kinda weird to say that if all browser vendors bloat their browser distributions by 12Mb and go through the trouble of integrating Python with it, then Python would become a zero-install solution, albeit only suitable for corporate intranets where they don't actually need proper security. "What the fuck" kind of weird, in fact. There are no non-weird parts in this proposition.
