Question about WASM

Anvil Q&A
1

Curious if there’s plans for Anvil to switch from skulpt to WASM using python? And if so would the client module code remain the same?

2

I doubt Anvil and Skulpt will ever divorce.

I’ve read that one of the reasons Skulpt was chosen was because functions like sleep are blocking and allow to get python to work more like python, while most other alternatives are non blocking and you need to think more like javascript.

Now… will there ever be a Skulpt WASM?

Also, from all the WASM based python projects I have seen so far, they are all far from production ready.

Yeah it seems a bit out of reach at the moment, with 6mb download and 4-5 seconds initialization. But perhaps that will eventually be integrated into browsers, that could be a game changer.
