Is this Python in Rust in WASM in Go?

The Monty name was a perfect choice, Yakety Sax was playing in the distance as I read through the readme.

Jokes aside, I do love seeing WASM as a bridge to enable cool stuff like this.

It is very funny that the oppressive Python regime tolerates Monty Python references.

According to their own dogma, Life of Brian would be transphobic. There are a multitude of IQism, ageism and other *isms in Monty Python skits.

Let's not get into the "racist" episode of Fawlty Towers with John Cleese and the Black guy.

But nasty inquisitors and liars like Wouters have defended Monty Python as kosher. This tells you all you need to know about double standards in the deranged old boys club.

Monty itself seems much more interesting than a Go wrapper for a WASM runtime running the Rust implementation that runs the Python code. There was a big discussion about it 6 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46918254
