I agree that the bundle size is a big concern. Another aspect that I am worried about is Python’s performance. JavaScript is not a fast language, and Python is an order of magnitude slower. What makes Python shine today rely on packages with native code. I don’t know how many of them can be run flawlessly in the browser without modification.

A lot of the work porting these libs to wasm has already been done. But you can’t expect every Python program to just run.
