> Python is so broadly used in those fields due to good library support javascript in modern browsers has good builtin-api support for most ux-scenarios you can think of. the only thing really missing (and which python has) is a builtin wasm-sqlite3 library (and specialized/secure file-api's to persist sqlite-db-blobs).
then the remaining hard ux-problems like shopping-carts/typeahead-fts-search/million-row-datatables/etc would no longer be hard -- and can even be implemented w/o need of a backend, making "serverless" frontend-apps truly serverless.
