Vispy + PyPy.js

[IronManMark20]

Hello,

I noticed you use a WebGl backend for IPython, so I was thinking adding compatiblity with PyPy.js would not be that hard, right? How hard would this be (to your knowledge) and what should happen as first steps?

Thanks

I unfortunately don't know how difficult this would be. Hopefully someone else can chime in with an idea, but if not, I guess the first steps would be to get familiar with how the WebGL backend in vispy works to see how you'd need to get it to interface with PyPy.js.

I think the first step would be to have NumPy support in PyPy.js? this
doesn't sound trivial at all...

If you want client-side only visualizations, a better option might be
to use the future offline WebGL backend. Most of the components exist,
it's now a matter of putting everything together. Basically, the idea
is to write the visualization in Python, export the GLIR commands, and
read them in JavaScript by implementing some interactivity in JS.
