PyPy.js - PyPy Python in Your Browser

Episode #32, published Tue, Nov 3, 2015, recorded Wed, Sep 30, 2015

Imagine a future where you are building that rich, client-side web app. You start by creating some backend services in Flask or Node, an HTML page, throw in a few divs and uls, and then you type [script src="main.py" language="Python"]. That future might just be possible, for the right types of applications, with Ryan Kelly's pypy.js project.
