PyPy.js: A fast, compliant Python implementation for the web
I can imagine a way to include language extensions in the browser and have them loaded up lazily in a sandbox. And a checkbox that says "Allow websites to run code" or something. Then you could develop an extension for your favourite language and either install them manually or have some popular ones bundled with the browser.If we're going to run everything in the browser, why use javascript as the low-level language that stuff compiles to?I know portability and existing standards are a limitation, but those can be influenced by the 3 (?) major browsers if needed.I think asm.js is an awesome cute little thing, but the fact that it's taken seriously is worrisome to me.Am I completely crazy here?
