Can all of you python to javascript library creators get together and create one solid library, or maybe not all of you, because it would be a grid-lock of decisions. How about half of you with the most similar ideas get together and do one super solid library, instead of having 20 of these python to javascript libraries so the community can easily decide on one to use as a standard. This would be awesome! Thanks!

Probably need a company to do it. Like Microsoft made Typescript, Facebook made React, Google made Angular, etc... We need Dropbox to make this, since they have Guido and he can push this on the python 3 community to make this a standard library. Dropbox please rescue us and pull the python to javascript community together. Please!!!

> push this on the python 3 community to make this a standard library

Do you mean "standard" as in "the community's most often used", or as in "included in the standard library"?

A wise man once told me that "the standard library is where libraries go to die."

[mrharrison]

Well if I suggest standard library to an area that has 20 plus libraries, then maybe we can get somewhere in the middle :)

Too late. Python is screwed. Its still slow and not portable.

Julia is a dynamic language that can compile to fast binary code. Once it can be run in the browser with web assembly, faster and nicer syntax than javascript, why would anyone use python?

[tanlermin]

Can someone who downvoted me explain the flaw in my argument?

i feel like a variation of this comment appears on every javascript library discussion.

A much more likely scenario would be for you to star it on GitHub if you like it and start blogging and evangelizing it yourself while encouraging others to do the same.

Don't make me bust out the XKCD comic that we all know everyone immediately thought of when reading this :)

[echelon]

At this point, Randall needs to write an XKCD on the notion of referencing "that one XKCD" (whichever one pertains to the given circumstance).

There's an XKCD for just about anything...

[golergka]

I'm pretty sure it was called "in popular culture".
