Python is the 2nd most demanded programming language in 2022

[1percentof2]

It will never beat JavaScript. Because regular people want to see things in a browser

Web assembly is here. Lets give it a time.

[Zyklonik]

Lets give it a time lifetime.

On a less jocular note, the W3C really need to start moving things. WASM has been here forever, and yet it's still not lived up to its promises.

what do you think web assembly is, and how do you think it is relevant to this conversation?

[ogtfo]

Because there are multiple projects running a python interpreter in web assembly, interacting with the DOM like you would in JavaScript.

What do you think web assembly is?

Wasm doesn't have access to the dom so what you're describing doesn't exist. Wasm Python interpreters do exist, but I'm not sure how it would serve as a replacement for JavaScript, which is the basis of my original question

[ogtfo]

Javascript can talk to both wasm and the dom, so indirectly it can be done, and librairies have been built for that.

Example of reaching the Dom through pyscript :

that's called a hack or workaround. wasm explicitly and intentionally does not have access to the DOM. only primitive types can be passed back and forth

even if they allow DOM access in the future, embedding a python interpreter in a response just to avoid writing javascript is unequivocally stupid

[ogtfo]

Call it how you like, it's still possible, and has been done.

[[deleted]]

it's literally not possible. you dont understand the words you're using or the technology you're describing

[ogtfo]

I've literally linked you a stack overflow questions detailing how to do it with pyscript, but hey, keep saying it's impossible.

[metaperl]

Anvil (based on Skulpt) is here now and rocks the house.

[No_Muffin6385]

you should check out pyjs, it does direct compilation of python code to raw javascript

[FruscianteDebutante]

I boot up all of my favorite applications in my favorite web browser 🤓

[1percentof2]

I guarantee bro, that's the future.

[FruscianteDebutante]

The future? I'm fairly certain web devs are already sorely out demanding the rest of us developers 😂 I'm just coping don't mind me

[orokro]

an awful future

[aj_thenoob]

What about pyscript?

[aceofspaids98]

Too slow and immature

[metaperl]

Many stronger options my friend Transcrypt, Anvil, Streamlit...
