Porting Python to WebAssembly - Christian Heimes, Red Hat

In 2021 CPython, the default implementation of the Python interpreter written in C, did not have any support for WebAssembly out of the box. A year later Python 3.11 will be released with built-in support for WASM platforms Emscripten and WASI. The Python community is using WASM for more and more projects, like Pyodide, PyScript, and JupyterLite.
