Alexander Tsepkov has written a thorough analysis on the drawbacks of pyjs as a Web applications development framework.
- Browser Detection instead of Feature Detection - Bloat and Boilerplate Hell - Debugging - Python is not Java, DOM is not a Desktop - JavaScript has its Strengths We probably should take these hints seriously, think of what can be improved (under the light of feasibility, and sustainable investment), and prioritize tasks derived from that. I've always suspected that the ideal world can only be a pyjs framework that combines the ease of Python programming with the lightweight of current JavaScript frameworks (e.g. jQuery, CoffeeScript, etc). There's an obvious focus on the "ease of programming" today, at the same time we're not following current developments in Web development---at all or not fast enough.
