  • pyodide

    Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js based on WebAssembly

  • Very close, almost all of POSIX is implemented in browsers now. Look at for example JSLinux https://bellard.org/jslinux/ for the classic example, or more recently stuff like pyodide that compile real desktop Python to run fully in the browser https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide

    AFAIK there are a few loose ends still TBD with WASM & WASI to support sockets and networking, but once that's in place we'll likely have a full WASM POSIX environment in your browser. Get some of the core tools like gcc, etc. prebuilt and you're good to go to just start building the world in your browser.

  • InfluxDB
