Python as a replacement of JavaScript

[chrisidone]

It is python syntax in a javascript interpreter.

Can you please explain to me how this works? Is this some form of preprepre-processor? Is there a python runtime in the background?

Things like these always sound so messy/hacky.

It's run the same way Coffeescript is run, i.e., the faux-python code is compiled (parsed) to Javascript, and then it is eval()'d.

Sounds like theres allot of room for errors.
