A while back I posted about W++ (a Python-style scripting language that runs on .NET). I couldn’t resist pushing it further, so now… here’s OOPSIEWASM: A (very experimental) way to run W++ in the browser via WebAssembly—with a live playground, real canvas drawing, and (maybe, one day) the dream of replacing HTML.
What’s working:
Write W++ code in your browser and run it instantly (no C#, no JavaScript, no HTML needed)
Call browser canvas APIs from W++ (via externcall)
All running in Blazor WebAssembly
Playground UI is just the start—my final boss goal: “web apps with zero HTML in dev tools”
How hacky is it?
Extremely.
But it’s real, and you can try it!
All code is MIT-licensed and on GitHub.

Try it out, read the code, ask me anything (including how much C# black magic was needed). I’d love your feedback, ideas, and even wild critiques.
