I have integrated pyodide + webgpu recently. (you can do matmul using webgpu's compute pipeline). The real problem is that browser tabs have 4gb max memory size. So, training neural networks on this stack is almost impossible. ( I don't even want to mention pyTorch's dependency hell).

WebAssembly Memory64 is coming

My claim is that it’s not easy, not impossible. There’s little incentive to hack in JavaScript or maintain a Pyodide compatible build. The 4gb limit isn’t a technical limitation, just a standards thing (it could change easily).
