Well, since you seem to know about these things, could you please explain that statement? What does the phrase "compilation target for the programming language" mean exactly?

Will it be possible, for example, to write Python or Perl code, and have that execute inside the browser? (provided somebody does all the stuff to *make* that possible, i.e. make the Python interpreter make code for the browser? (I have absolutely no *clue* what I'm talking about :) ) )

Thanks.
