I would not completely give up on the idea of Python
itself running in the browser, although obviously
there have been lots of false starts.

Regarding using Python to generate JavaScript, I just
get nervous any time code generation happens.  While
JS is not a perfect language, it's tolerably close to
Python in lots of cases, and if you have a Python back
end, you can feed it JSON very easily from Python.

To the extent that JS code incorporates lots of
cross-platform idiosyncracies, I still think the
strategy there is to dig into JS and learn how to
encapsulate those within JS itself.
