abracabra VS pyodide

Half-baked as in eating it can cause gastric problems, not as in 50% done?

https://github.com/hadrianw/werf a graphical mouse driven text editor inspired by Plan 9's acme. It can open quite big files, you can WIMP around a bit, but README is just wishful thinking, it can't even save files. Written in C with cairo and fontconfig. Currently for a few years I'm in process of rewriting text buffer, I have something nice, but did not test it enough and did not integrate it. Now I'm thinking of a rewrite in Zig to learn it and also make it easier to test. But that's my wishful thinking again.

https://github.com/hadrianw/tomatoaster a ChromeOS like Linux distribution based on Void Linux build system, AB partition scheme, building squashfs image without root privileges. Currently I did a nice and almost proper script to handle it and do not need to patch as match to build an image, that runs, but is not entirely useful. Need to clean-up the script and commit. Mostly bash, bunch of patches and config files and a bit of C.

https://github.com/hadrianw/abracabra a search engine, that will not index pages with ads (all results would be uBlock-Origin clean), that is not yet even a proper pipeline to check whether a page does contain ads or not, no crawler yet at all. I want to go through Common Crawl archives first. I did something in Go first (https://github.com/hadrianw/abracabra-legacy), but now I'm rewriting it in Rust, because of awesome lol_html crate, that will make filtering fast and easy. Currently writing code to filter URLs with Rabin-Karp and a bit of loops. It created an e-mail thread years ago with people wanting to help, but I've been too slow.

I don't want much help to code things, I would appreciate however a bit of pointers on a couple of things regarding Rust and watchdogs (to recognize a partition as unbootable and reset the system to the previous partition).

We implemented an in-browser Python editor/interpreter built on Pyodide over at Comet (our users are data scientists who need to build custom visualizations quite often, and the most familiar language for most of them is Python).

One of the issues you'll run into is that Pyodide only works by default with packages that have pure Python wheels available. The team has developed support for some libraries with C dependencies (like scikit-learn, I believe), but frameworks like PyTorch are particularly thorny (see this issue: https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/issues/1625 )

We ended up rolling out a new version of our Python visualizations that runs off-browser, in order to support enough libraries/get the performance we need: https://www.comet.com/docs/v2/guides/comet-ui/experiment-man...

Thank you! Yes, one of the items in the Roadmap is support for Pyodide (https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide) for running in-browser python on the results of each of the code blocks! This should allow most ML libs to be usable in-browser! This is pretty high-up on our priority list.

If I understand correctly, WASM only makes sense for compiled languages, you can run the python interpreter in WASM of course[1], but that will be at a significant performance disadvantage to the native javascript interpreter, and it's also something that has to be loaded every time you load the website.

If you absolutely need something comparable to Sympy, then one option might be to figure out how to best call Sympy from Rust. e.g. - RustPython, although it seems like Sympy isn't supported yet - Pyodide, and figuring out how to run it outside of a web browser. Probably also not very easy. - PyPy, and having a pretty simple Python binary for every platform - ...

For running programming languages other than JavaScript in the browser there is Emscripten and WebAssembly. There is v86, where a Linux build is compiled to WASM. Folks have written QuickJS into a Linux build compiled to WASM, Node.js into the Linux buildroot https://github.com/cemalgnlts/now, so Python or CPython can be written to the image and loaded into the browser as WASM as well https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide.

There's a Python runtime that runs on WebAssembly (https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide). I have no idea what it's like, I've never used it.

Still in a quest to provide some tooling to quickly compose documentation websites: https://github.com/synw/docdundee . As I have tons of libs to document and was tired of managing restructured language for readthedocs I started with this, and now it has executable Python examples in the frontend via a Pyodide wrapper composable: usePython

This project's brand new and a lil hacky, but I've already reached out to the scikit-learn team, and they recommended that I experiment with using Pyodide as an alternative backend for the Python bridge.
