Could Python be compiled to run on the V8 Engine?
There are already three projects that provide a Python to Javascript compiler. The resulting Javascript can then be run on any engine including V8. Look for Pyjamas, Skulpt and Py2JS.
This is not the same as compiling Python to V8 bytecodes, but the end result is much the same.
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?
