White I agree with you about modern JS, using Python in the browser has a few advantages:
- it can be the same language as the backend, that's a huge advantage (no need to change context, you can more easily have the team for backend and frontend)
- if you use Python elsewhere (like it's my case for multi-frontends XMPP client), you can factorize the code
- it's a really popular language, notably among scientists
- I have no numbers, but I suspect that once the initial download is done and cached, Python code should be smaller than JS equivalent
- there is a huge ecosystem (of course JS is even bigger, but the neat thing is that you can use both)
And probably other things I'm not thinking of right now.
