Could Python be compiled to run on the V8 Engine?
V8 doesn't actually have a general purpose bytecode.  There's a regexp byte code, but support is not usually compiled in.  There's a deserialization byte code and a relocation information byte code, but both are implemtation details and you can't use them for anything.
So what you are looking for is something that compiles to JS source code.
Presumably Javascript is compiled to some kind of byte-code to run on the V8 Engine? Is Python a similar enough language that we can imagine Python being compiled to the same byte-code and run on the V8?
Any projects trying to do this?
