Yet, those properties are the same, Pythonium can do everything other
Python->JS does or wants to do.

AFAIK Pythonium does it all.

That is an optimisation step. Not very required. But anyway, you would
need to have
a python that run on top of JavaScript VM to do that. Python is a
better representation that
javascript, if you ever need to manipulate code to generate code you
would want to do it
in Python, not Javascript and not Python that manipulates Javascript...

Merging the project will have a direct impact on cost + benefits in a good way.

No parade here :)

You did not kill any joy [1].

If the old could, if the new knew...
To sum up my point of view regarding this topic of merging efforts,
the only thing I see, is
that people have bet on solutions and want to stay king in their
kingdom. This is not technical
debate, it's purely political.
By the way I stop further development of Pythonium for the time being,
I have no immediate
interest in this topic anymore. I just wanted to see if it was
possible, and do few checks regarding
politic in the computer industry. Pythonium Veloce is working and
kicking all I wanted, getting Pythonium
Compliant is AFAIK just a matter of getting the code written.
