Hi, I'm planning to go to grad school next fall. For my thesis I'm thinking about researching some aspect of building a Python web browser engine. My basic idea is to get Python running in the browser without either transpiling or translating Python to JavaScript (which is basically every solution I've seen so far). In other words, I'm planning to research a way to use Python exclusively (no JavaScript at all) in a web browser. Right now I'm trying to better understand the general domain and discover if any there are any well known problems related to making a Python web browser engine. I'm not sure where is the best place to begin searching for this kind of information, though. So I thought I'd ask people actively involved in the development of a programming language engine for a web browser. At the moment, I'm thinking that PyPy might be the best Python implementation for such a project, and that WebAssembly, and possibly Emscripten, will play big roles. Any advice, thoughts, or resources you can point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Andrew
