Python Converted To JavaScript, Executed In-Browser

lkcl writes "Two independent projects, Skulpt and Pyjamas, are working to bring Python to the web browser (and the JavaScript command-line) the hard way: as JavaScript. Skulpt already has a cool Python prompt demo on its homepage; Pyjamas has a gwtcanvas demo port and a GChart 2.6 demo port. Using the 64-bit version of Google v8 and PyV8, Pyjamas has just recently and successfully run its Python regression tests, converted to JavaScript, at the command-line. (Note: don't try any of the above SVG demos with FF2 or IE6; they will suck.)"

Because it's done like this:
<?php
die(Python);

Google Translate Extended

[aoheno]

Announcing onelanguage dot com, an extension of Google Translate, ushering in an era where programmers need only learn one language and have it converted to another language of choice.

FAQ:

Q. How accurate is it?
A. Same as Google Translate. You have to learn the output language to know which parts of the language you already know result in garbage-out. We suggest you use our new Pidgin versions of Python, PHP, Java, and Ruby.

Compiling Python to JavaScript running in a browser really is like putting lipstick on a dog.
