>A JavaScript interpreter written in Python?

I'm assuming this refers to the python port of Bellard's MQJS [1]? It's impressive and very useful, but leaving out the "based on mqjs" part is misleading.

That's why I built the WebAssembly one - the JavaScript one started with MQJS, but for the WebAssembly one I started with just a copy of the https://github.com/webassembly/spec repo.

I haven't quite got the WASM one into a share-able shape yet though - the performance is pretty bad which makes the demos not very interesting.
