I, for one, look forward to the day I have Python in my frontend.

Browser support for <Script type=text/python>! Viva la revolution!

I would need so much less migraine medicine that the pharma industry would lobby against it.



That day was 15+ yrs ago. Back in the IE4/5 days with ActivePerl and/or ActivePython installed you could do just that (along with VBScript). It also allowed you to use them in ASP pages too.

Apparently Perl tended to work better than Python though due to not being as picky about whitespace in an HTML script element :)
