Hi massimo and everyone,

Hope everyone is doing fine.

With support for Pyjamas, Massimo must have thought of this, but for
some reason I feel something ain't right with the Pyjamas' approach.

I have just realised that there has been massive amount of effort
dedicated to client-side processing in the javascript community.
Things like knockout.js, spine.js, backbone.js, and alot more.

Being able to move processing from server to client will greatly
affect scalability.  One thing we can start with is template
processing.  You can translate python codes directly to javascript and
embed it on the client side for processing or you can use javascript
template engines like handlebar.js, jade.js instead of web2py template
engine.

More generally, if there is a mechanism to delegate a piece of Python
code in web2py (via decoration or inheritance), that would be very
nice.  I would imagine one can use Pyjamas' pyjs.js to translate the
Python code to javascript or to use something like Skulpt (which will
be slow) to interpret Python code directly on the browsers.
