It's a really nice demo, and I really like the idea so far (although precompiling to JS would be awesome), but I really don't see Python taking over Javascript as the scripting language.

It's way nicer in my opinion, but I think its fussy white space is likely to be an issue for this use case. All the large Javascript libraries get minified etc, and Python really isn't open to that sort of stuff. It's a great language to use normally, but I don't see it replacing Javascript. I'd much rather write in Python and compile to Javascript though.
