PyScript & MicroPython

[jimmo]

Exciting announcement from Anaconda today about using MicroPython as a backed for PyScript, which allows you to write Python in the browser.

See the demo at https://pyscript.net/tech-preview/micropython/ which also includes an example of running ulab (@v923z).

Cool, in one of the examples they even use ulab.numpy, which is compiled into the wasm.

Nice, looks like they have solved some of the same problems I was working on and some things have already made it upstream. I wonder if they are going to have asynchronous execution, which is what I was stuck on.

async is now in the top level loop (2024.8.2) - new projects made at pyscript.com use 2024.8.2 as default version so you can experiment painlessly there.
