Hi HN!
I'm Syrus, from Wasmer (server-side WebAssembly runtime [1]). We are in the midst of prioritizing our next quarter and I thought it could be interesting to ask here if you would be interested in a Python to Wasm compiler.
We already have a prototype working, but need a bit more time to perfection it.
Here are some use cases of a Python-to-Wasm compiler:
1. Usage of python libraries in the browser easily
2. Creating universal binaries that work anywhere
How would you use a Python to Wasm compiler? I'm eager to hear your thoughts. Thanks!!

the experience is kinda poor, it's very very slow. At first I thought the reason was the packages are too huge, it took a very long time to download them. But it turned out that the slowness comes from the python runtime when loading a package.
I guess directly compile python into wasm will make code execution faster, but I'm interested in building a scripting environment.
