Thanks to recent commits by @ChristianHeimes, I figured out the correct incantations to build CPython's main branch for the web! This is stock Python running *in the browser*. My scripts to build this are at t.co Lots of work to fix things though... 👷

Python main branch (3.11) running in the browser with Emscripten.

Why it worked

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic, punchy
Written for: Engineers and technical teams
