For such a terrible language, it really has staying power...

JS is the machine code of the web. Fewer and fewer people might write it directly, but it will live as long as the web platform does.

Only if that browser somehow becomes overwhelmingly popular in a market segment BEFORE it gets JS support.

Could make a transpiler for python -> js, and serve python to the browser with a fallback to js if the python isn't supported by the browser
