duckscript VS pyscript

Currently i'm using it in cargo-make but will also use it later to parse args for duckscript commands.

At it's most basic you could make a really simple interpreter by just doing such a thing, and there is essentially already such a simple language like that built for/in rust called Duckscript (rust has a surprisingly large number of little embedded languages), and that would be completely and entirely sufficient for many purposes, though if you want speed then you'll need to JIT or AOT the code, which is why wasm is so handy as you can interpret or JIT (or even AOT it with wasmer) without the much larger overhead of a, for example, javascript or java embedded runtime.

PyScript is an open-source framework that allows you run your Python code in the browser. With PyScript, developers can write Python scripts that directly interacts with the browser, just like JavaScript does.

You are right for the most part. I attended a talk about pyscript[1] (runs python in the browser using wasm which is similar) and there is a 2x performance hit.

PyScript maintainer here - I'd love to hear more about this application! Either here, or over on our Discord (invite link is on the GitHub Page [1]).

For the first question - why your code previously created an HTML node but now just prints out the literal characters of the HTML - that was a change made in 2022.12.1, in Pull Request 915 to be specific. You can check out the single-line change that caused this, if you want. Essentially, calls to Element.write() or display() have their contents escaped by default, which wasn't the case before.

Note that in the current release (2023.03.1 at time of writing), py-[event] listeners are only hooked up once at page-load time, so changing that attribute after the page loads won't do anything. In the upcoming release, py-[event] handlers are dynamically attached and managed each time a py-[event] attribute on the page is changed. (PR 1435)

PyScript started as a usability layer around Pyodide for those not used to working in JS. It's now working on things like incorporating the Micropython runtime as an alternative, moving the interpreter to a worker thread, adding a plugins ecosystem, easier events API's, and more.
