Pros

Cons
Con Batteries not included
The Python standard library is not available. Therefore, most Python libraries won't work either. Fortunately, there are a lot of JavaScript libraries you can use instead. Unfortunately, they're not very Pythonic. It feels like writing JavaScript with Python syntax.
Con You still have to understand how JavaScript libraries work in order to utilize them.
Con Non-standard semantics
By default, Transcrypt does not work quite the same way as Python, which can lead to subtle bugs if you don't know about all of them and expect it to work like Python. For example, []
is truthy, like in JavaScript, not Falsy, like in Python. (There is a __pragma__
to change this.)
