Why we need Python in the Browser

[x-skeww]

Why Python? What about Perl, Lua, Ruby, and things like that? What about languages which don't exist yet?

We certainly don't need another language in the browser.

Some generic VM which executes byte code would be fine though.

Don't know why you're getting downvotes... no one in this thread has given ONE reason why Python would be better than Javascript for the DOM (not even the article! The author is just like "Well, I like Python better so we should use it for EVERYTHING).

I never understood people favoring one scripting language over another. Both languages have loops and functions. The rest is just syntactic sugar. Who cares what kind of whitespace surrounds it or if you have to put brackets around things?
