Pyodide: Interesting Approach to Python in the Browser #1072

Open norvig opened 5 years ago

norvig commented 5 years ago

Pyodide: Python + NumPy, Pandas, Scipy, and Matplotlib in the Browser.

Could this be used by aima-python?

I think it could be used in conjunction with what we have now. Linking to the Pyodide notebooks somewhere on the README and maybe intro/index.ipynb could work. In terms of requirements, our notebooks don't use any libraries outside the matplotlib/numpy, so we should be fine.

This is definitely something to keep an eye on, maybe the GSoC student can port some stuff over?

Depends on the goals. It's interesting how Pyodide might fit into current aima-python framework. Seems aima-python has dealt mainly with AI algorithms; infrastructure / use in production has not been a significant topic. Pyodide might give a usability enhancement - ease notebook usage (although the demo seems slow), sth like "aima-python in browser". This could be also a component of a new "feature" (and a set of directories), sth like "aima-python in web dev" - many people could be interested in this. Or a step towards high volume data processing ("scaling aima-python up ").
