Hello, I've been looking at Dart lately (new language + virtual machine from Google) and it seems like it might be a better candidate for compiling Python to JavaScript using Dart as an intermediate.
My magic 8 ball says that eventually Dart will be the language used to build Android apps as well. So, if we can transpile Python to Dart we'd get JavaScript through dart2js and eventually when DartVM is used in more placed we would benefit there as well. Just thought I'd throw that idea out there. A less radical approach might be to look at how dart2js works and if it's modular enough maybe we could feed it a Python syntax tree modified to look like Dart. This way we'd get all of the optimizations and other features that dart2js applies to the generated javascript. Dart supports optional typing so it's closer to Python in semantics than Java (GWT). - lex -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pyjs.org Users" group.
