He talks about creating the LinkedDOM library to have a DOM API in Node.js, how WebAssembly enables running languages besides JS in browsers, and potential improvements like a central garbage collector.
Scott and Wes talk with Andrea Giammarchi (aka WebReflection) about his projects, including LinkDOM and PyScript, and the exciting future of running Python in the browser via WebAssembly.
