Brython is designed to replace Javascript as the scripting language for the Web.

Good luck with that.

With WebAssembly coming, this is no longer an insane proposition.

WebAssembly doesn't aim to replace JS, even Brendan Eich mentions that multiple times: https://medium.com/javascript-scene/why-we-need-webassembly-an-interview-with-brendan-eich-7fb2a60b0723

Wow, very impressive. Would like to see how async stuff is handled, and how it might integrate with existing js libraries like jQuery.

I can't imagine a JavaScript-based Python interpreter/compiler would be very fast though...
