I wish Python was supported as a web frontend language. (lemmy.ml)

I used to hate web frontend development. But now I'm realising I just hate JavaScript. Python is also interpreted meaning it can be hosted in a sandbox, also dymically typed, has dicts which baiscally use JSON syntax, supports multiple paradigms, etc. Instead of a language whose creators probably said "let's make this language we named after Java a million times worse than Java"

This will become increasingly realistic as WebAssembly matures. In the meantime, my out-of-left-field suggestion is to check out ClojureScript.
