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
