[omaha] Python in the Browser - brought to you by Microsoft?

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

Who would have guessed that MS would be the first to really put python
in the browser? I know you can jump through hoops to make a browser
support python but it was not something you could do for a public
website.

There have been a bunch of announcements in the past couple of days
about IronPython and SilverLight -- will they beat firefox?
Personally, I'm giddy about the prospect of using Python instead of
javascript.  John Udell's blog entry tonight specifically mentions
that exact combination.

Finally, things are starting to get exciting again.
