[pypy-dev] Feedback on Graduate School Research Idea Using Pypy

[yun bao]

Hi,

I'm planning to go to grad school for a Master's.  I'm thinking about
researching something related to getting Python running in a web browser.
All of the current implementations that allow you to do that either
transpile Python to JavaScript ahead of time, or do some kind of on-the-fly
conversion from Python to JavaScript.  I'd like to write an actual Python
engine that will run in the browser.  As I've been mulling over this idea,
I read about Pypy.  Given my limited knowledge of this domain (programming
language engines that run in the browser) and the exact nature of the
problem, Pypy seems like the best route to achieving this.  I'm still very
much in the early stages of fleshing this idea out, and besides the typical
undergraduate Programming Language class, I haven't done much in the way of
programming language design or anything compiler related.  So I have A LOT
to learn.  But I was hoping some of you who are Pypy experts could give me
a bit of advice on the feasibility of what I'm considering.

Thank you,

Andrew
