I implemented some scale scale webapp with it. At some point, it becomes way too slow.

It's a very cool project, which is only enabled by fast js engines, but the reality comes back hard: it's an interpreter, running on an interpreted language. I was never going to be fast.

I'm really forward to skilled people providing python though WASM. And not pyodide, which is more than just python.

I think pyodide builds numpy and scipy as separate packages, so the base distribution should be just python.

"Only the Python standard library and six are available after importing Pyodide."

Pyodide can be stripped down to "just" python, and you actually have to actively load everything else.

I don't think there is going to be a more efficient or lean port of CPython to WASM than pyodide.
