  Modeling: We are currently exploring this space so our findings are not final yet but let me share what we've found so far. TensorFlow.js is absolutely amazing, it provides a native port from TensorFlow to JavaScript with CPU, WebGL, WebAssembly and NodeJS backends. We were able to write an LSTM to do time series prediction, so far so good. However, we started hitting issues when we started to do simpler models, like a linear regression. We tried Regression.js but we found it falls short, so we wrote our own script to handle single-variable regressions using TF.js and gradient decent. It actually worked quite well but exposed a flaw in this approach; basically, there is a lot of work to be done to bring many models into the web. We also found out Arquero.js does not play nicely with TF.js since well, Arquero.js does not support tensors; so we went on to explore Danfo.js, which integrates great with TF.js but we found out it's hard to scale it's transformations to +1M rows and found other rough edges. Since then, well, we started exploring Pyodide and perhaps contributing to Danfo.js, or perhaps involve more server-side compute, but that will be a story for another time.
