You loved running JavaScript in your web browser. Now, get ready for Python scripting

This is pretty cool and useful to port software with an embedded python interpreter.

However this does demonstrate one of the best advantages of using C and C++. It is so much more portable.

For example, Emscripten allowed C, C++ ----> JS, ASM.js, WASM almost a decade before other languages. And before that we had Adobe Alchemy / CrossBridge C, C++ -----> Flash Bytecode.

Where I used to work, I even had to re-write much of Unity3D (https://github.com/osen/mutiny) to port some of our games over 4 years before Unity Technologies managed to port .NET (or transpile CSharp.NET to C++).
