Full title: "Building a MyST authoring environment to identify things that MyST core could improve"
Great to see this! Writing markdown and so also MyST[1] is the complex problem for many years between WYSIWYG and typesetting systems. Many tried. Many failed..Latex and Typst are still alive.

Source https://github.com/google/brotli for who wants to do a real security audit.
Security is always context dependent. For many use case it works. But if any one knows a better alternative that is battle tested and used please shout out!

“ Runs in your browser” when it is not FOSS , validation of this claim is impossible.

Correct, 100% speculative. It could be true, seeing the history of secret services.
But this story is too good to be true! Real questions are: who benefits of this story? And why?

Dries was in the past imho excellent in inspiring people with his keynotes. Especially with his vision and roadmaps. This keynote was mediocre at best.
AI-AI-AI-AI...The big question was avoided: What is the relevance of Drupal in the AI era?
Most people who want to publish content in a nice looking way can now do that using just a prompt and using natural language. Content management, or managing the things online in a decent way is still an unsolved problem, since this is not a technical thing, but mostly sht work for content managers that nobody want to do. It is a matter of time till OpenAI or some other AI company can do what a CMS application can do, but than without the pain and complexity for users. I see no answer from this keynote in anyway!
This current strategy of Drupal has high risks in terms of maintainability, stability, security and privacy when leaning so heavy on AI-things that are still changing every 3 months.

Good news is that Pyodide[1] is still actively maintained and developed!
"The honest picture is that PyScript remained a niche." Running Python directly in the browser is great and gives lots of opportunities. However in the AI era generating sloppy for browser apps seems the way forward...
[1] Pyodide is a port of CPython to WebAssembly/Emscripten. https://pyodide.org/
