This would be a BIG projecct.
The PyPy project comes with a python2js-compiler. And AFAIK pygments or something similar uses that. But even then - debugging *generated* client-side JS? I know what I *don't* like to do, but YMMV. And to share code between back- and frontend, you'd need to translate all the dependencies to JS, ending with a nightmarish several dozen MB to load *upfront* before a single page is displayed... So I repeat - this wouldn't be a TG application. It's a client-side JS or python2js-app, with a abstracted storage layer. It might use JSON to speak with a TG-app, but that's merely a simple RPC-backend.
