But could Python really take advantage of asm.js? I think that this is more useful for compiling statically typed languages (C/C++/... maybe TypeScript?) to JavaScript.
It's been said elsewhere, but you musn't forget that the python interpreter itself must be compiled. The pypy project is a python interpreter written in a restricted subset of python (rpython), and it would be doable to make the rpython compiler output asm.js.
