    It looks like it’s 3x faster than the previous cpython wasm compilation. Recall that most of the performance improvements in python have been done in the last ~2 releases.

    My distro is debian based so it’s still on 3.10 which I would guess this new wasm implementation is much closer to in performance.

    Compiling to wasm also means that you can distribute a binary rather than needing people to have python installed.

      I don’t know that I’d say that’s true? wasm itself is not a binary format.
