But like why?? I'll understand if people try to Rustify JavaScript: it's faster, more efficient, and safer. But Python? Please, no. PyScript is just really really really ugh. I can't see how it'll be better than JavaScript anyways. Oof. Oof.

Totally disagree. Javascript syntax is ugly, making it pointlessly more difficult to learn. Python syntax is clean, logical (for the most part), elegant, structured, and is easy to learn for a complete beginner. Whoever says Javascript is a nice language has either learned coding through Javascript as their first language, or has a completely opposite brain from mine.

C++ was my first language. I love JavaScript for its versatility, in my opinion making it an insanely powerful language. There's no use trying to integrate Python everywhere; the syntax is simple, but so are its features. JavaScript was built for the web, and I think that's a spot no other technology should replace. Sure, maybe use WASM for some heavy computation or graphics, but DOM manipulation? Leave that to JS.
