Our goal is for the user to never have to see JS. We try to catch most errors in Python during compile time. We're also not trying to reinvent things like CSS styles, just make them accessible in Python.
That's not gonna happen if they have to solve browser runtime errors. And with there being so much variance between browsers and random nonsense to hack around, how can you possibly get around that?
Besides, python and js are so similar it's really funny to see people not wanting to use one but cling to the other.
Does this thing also convert python libraries for use on the web? Can it compile say keras or pytorch to javascript? I guess that would indeed be super neat to have on the browser client side.
I don't know much about Pynecone, but that is indeed what pyodide does:
> These include many general-purpose packages such as regex, pyyaml, lxml and scientific Python packages including numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib, and scikit-learn.
Again, not super familiar, so I don't know the level of effort required to support these libraries. Maybe adding pytorch would be infeasible, maybe they just need enough people to express interest.
I feel Python is not the best language for catching most errors during compile time.
