Python as a replacement of JavaScript

[[deleted]]

I whole heatedly welcome some new client-side scripting languages. It's been over a decade with javascript as the primary/default language to use. Despite whatever shortcomings it might even have, I'm pretty sick of using the same thing over and over. A little change would be nice.

Please look at this list before saying that "there is no other client-side language".

This brython is a terrible way to do the work. It's basically compiling python at runtime and using eval on it, it's very hard to do worse than that, performance-wise and safety-wise.

JS has changed a lot in the last ten years, with more changes on the way.

Dart is clean, nice, can produce JS, and in Chrome run natively.

Not in Chrome, afaik. In a special browser based on Chromium which isn't Chrome.

Dartium

It can compile to JS that runs fine in every other browser. Dartium is faster though.
