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."

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?

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