Web browsers are just glorified JavaScript interpreters. Making Python a first-class citizen in the browser would be sweet.

Zig hits on a lot of Zen of Python. > Beautiful is better than ugly. > Explicit is better than implicit. > Simple is better than complex. > Readability counts. What really sets Zig apart from the usual suspects (C, C++, Rust) is

Pretty awesome if you ask me. Why even use Unity if this exists? Why even install an app if you could feasibly run a full-blown game with 3D physics in the browser on your iPhone at 60 FPS? Where in the world are all the browser-based game

There's no mention of what Python version this is actually in. After some digging, it looks like the answer is 3.14 [0], so we won't be seeing this until October [1]. One could argue that this is a security fix (just read the firs

Yeah, embedded C++ is a wildly different experience from vanilla. I've worked in large embedded C++ codebases where we couldn't use the STL and had to use homegrown containers for everything. I wonder how Rust is stacking up (no p

They are grumpy about having to install the Rust compiler for a good reason. You can’t compile for Rust on Windows without using MSVC via Visual Studio Build Tools, which has a restrictive license.

Python is really shaping up to be the lingua franca of programming languages. Its adoption is soaring in this FOSS renaissance and I think it's the closest thing to a golden hammer that we've ever had. The PEP model is a good vehi
