Cliff, the answer to your question is no there is no need, but you seem to keep coming up even after we have given you carte blanche permission. Bill On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 12:53 PM, Clifford Ilkay <clifford_ilkay@dinamis.com

I hear you! I'm learning Javascript and wondering, "How did this language become so ubiquitous? Why doesn't Python run in browsers? It's a great language for embeddable scripting." The industry seems to like converters (i.e. GWT, Pygamas, etc.) and not replacing JavaScript with projects like IronMonkey. Which is kind of interesting considering there is a huge user base of Python

I'd looked at Pyjamas and I was never convinced of its merits. Like Brython that Jamon pointed out, it occurred to me as an interesting toy but not something I'd bet the farm on.
CoffeeScript has a Python like syntax (I'm loosely using the word 'like') if you are interested in not having to write JavaScript. But it compiles CoffeeScript into JavaScript so it's not the best thing in the world.
I don't see the point of CoffeeScript. It removes curly braces and some other constructs at the expense of reducing the number of people who can actually read the code I write.
