Although, I do wish to give folks a heads up that the there is still a lot of work around performance for Pyodide:
github.com/pyodide/pyodide/tree/ma...

Generally, it's 4-8x slower than pure python, and 1-2x slower than Python code that uses lots of c-extensions (e.g. numpy). There is some evidence, Node.js might be somewhat faster than native Python (on the benchmarks they considered) but again its use case dependent.

Lolol well it seems you have looked into pyodide. I just recently learned about pyodide and it's #63 on my todo list so I haven't had a chance to do a deep dive yet. Thank you for the eval 👍
