> 10 years ago there were ways run Python in the browser. ActiveState used to have such plugin for example.

I didn't say it was impossible, but it's a massive stretch to compare WASM now and some hack that worked if you had the right plugins installed. Common dude, that's just disingenuous.

edit: To think of it differently, I'm able to compile any language to run on any modern browser (which is most these days). I can even do it at my work, since we support Chrome. This was never possible before. I waited for years to run Python in browser without hacks or trickery. You're thinking I just oopses, missed that this was all possible before?

Sigh.
