Keynote – Peter Wang
summary
Announcement of a concrete project: a CPython build targeting WebAssembly that runs PyScript apps entirely client‑side with NumPy Pandas and scikit‑learn via Pyodide and JupyterLite components. Demonstrations include an in‑page REPL, a to‑do app manipulating the DOM, an interactive taxi‑data dashboard and a webcam gesture‑controlled Super Mario — all zero‑install and running in the browser. The claim is broad accessibility and serverless distribution; the demos mostly work but remain alpha and require more tooling, packaging and security work.
