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.

The available libraries are quite different between the two languages.

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:

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.
