This is huge and comes at the right moment for me. The Web Browser part is far less important to me than being able to compile programs into small and autonomous wasm binaries. I am indeed building an open-source (soon) business app platform based on code: https://windmill.dev

Right now you can define any scripts and run them, but behind the scene, the way the workers work is that they have a static list of dependencies they can handle and always fork a python process to run the code in that environement.

I was scratching my head about how to provide proper isolation and handling of custom dependencies for Python short of zipping the entire list of pip dependencies and unzipping it at runtime. For Typescript, this can be achieved easily using deno compile. Store the small output bundle and run it with the proper runtime restrictions. With the ability to do more or less the same Python, this is a huge game changer.
